The Boston Celtics bounced back from a tough loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder by defeating the Denver Nuggets 118-106. Despite growing concerns about this team, Boston showed why they are still one of the best teams in the NBA.

It has been apparent even to the untrained eye that KP has not been himself when on the court for the Celtics since returning from an ankle injury.

When speaking to the media following the game, Kristaps Porzingis admitted Boston had made some uncharacteristic errors during the game. He noted how they had been "stupid" with some of their decision-making and that the Thunder's defensive intensity was a genuine factor in Boston's loss.

Suddenly, a Boston Celtics team that ripped off a seven-game win streak in November before hitting a December slump looks primed for another run, especially after a 3-1 road trip to kick off the new year.
