Jaylen Brown Reacts After Celtics Fall to Nuggets on Road

The Boston Celtics fell to the Denver Nuggets 103-84 on Wednesday, Feb. 25. Boston, playing on the second night of a back-to-back, has ended its West Coast road trip with a 3-1 record. However, the loss to Denver has ended the team’s chances of reaching the 40-20 mark.

When speaking with the media after the game, All-Star forward Jaylen Brown shared his thoughts on the loss.

“I think we just had a tough time tonight converting,” Brown said, via NBC Sports Boston. “I thought we got a lot of great looks, some open catch and shoots, and we just, didn’t convert. Move on to the next…It would have been great to finish out strong on the road trip with a win. But 3-1 on a West Coast swing coming straight out of the All-Star break is not half bad. So we just got to continue to get better little by little…I think we’re playing some really good basketball… I like where we’re at as a team. It’s a good test going back home, playing in front of our home crowd, but we’ve got some tough matchups coming up, so we’ve got to be ready.”

Boston had a tough night shooting the ball; it went 12-of-43 from deep (27.9%) and 29-of-83 (34.9%) overall. Facing a Nuggets team that’s currently fourth in the Western Conference was never going to be an easy task, especially on a back-to-back.

Nevertheless, Joe Mazzulla and his team can look back at the road swing as an overall success. And now, they can turn their attention toward the Brooklyn Nets, who they will face at the TD Garden on Friday, Feb. 27.

The Celtics are 2-1 against Brooklyn this season, with their loss coming on Nov. 21.
