Oh, baby.

0:01.1

Let's go. Oh, I feel so good. Let's go. The water's warm, everybody. Jump on in. Let's go. Is it safe? Let's go for a swim. Oh, baby. What is everybody, welcome to the Winners Lounge. Let's go. Presented by Bet 3,6, 5. How are we doing our bed tonight? Oh, we'll talk about it. Hey, we're with the Winters Lounge. We're also in the Toyota Winners Lounge driven by your front-range Toyota stores. Toyota, the official vehicle of the NBR. Hop in the Toyota chat. Be kind to each other. Let's get the vibes up. This was a vibe win in many ways. Hell yeah. In many ways, man. The defense showed up tonight at ball arena.

0:40.3

Some extra preparation seemed to have the nuggets ready for this one as they get a blowout win over the red hot Boston Celtics.

0:47.3

Harrison Windows kind enough to join us.

0:49.3

Man, it's always great beating a, you know, potential finals opponent in a regular season game like we talked about in the pregame show.

0:59.4

You laughed at this.

1:00.7

It's possible.

1:02.0

I am saying that with a little, I'm being a little facetious, but Boston's been a really good team.

1:10.2

They've won five in a row. This is a great win. Any way you cut it. A much needed win and a great win. It is a great win, man. We're going to take every win we can get it right now. We got superstar dev here. I cannot believe how much we all needed this win. We needed to see them bounce back and I hope that they're here to stay. I hope so too man. It really was an impressive one. A Munder. When was the last time Munder was on the menu? Kael? It's been a minute. The Nuggets get a Munder, 103, 84. Let's go to a fast break town to relive all the glory. I didn't take very many notes tonight. To be honest, it wasn't like, there wasn't a lot of points. It was kind of a dog fight.

1:47.3

So there's not like that many like huge swings, but I'll start us off. Nuggets have not had a munder since January 22nd versus the Wizards. So over a month. Yeah. Over on the Wizards and the Celtics. That's hilarious. To start the game, Yokic was taking threes. That was the first note of the game. Kind of a note.

2:02.0

Yeah.

2:03.0

The Celtics force you into a lot of threes. They really pack the paint. Yokic had four in like the first two minutes of this game. He was going to get his three shot up tonight. Nuggets were struggling to score and taking just a lot of threes as a team. They ended up taking a record 29 in the first half. What did they end taking?

2:19.1

And they take fewer, only 43. Yeah, they cold off from their attempts. Yeah, that's crazy that it got

2:24.6

swung that wildly. Prayton Pritchard got two fouls early. Kind of a storyline, to be honest. They

2:30.2

needed scoring and he was in foul trouble most of the night. 24-21 Celtics after one.

2:35.8

Second quarter, Murray, not on the court, questionable with illness. He ultimately did not return.

2:41.6

He was out this game with an illness. Cam Johnson, I thought, did a lot of like hustle stuff

2:46.0

tonight. He was grabbing boards in that second quarter, if you remember, and hit a big three at a moment

2:50.4

when it just felt like Denver, every basket felt so big because it was such a defensive slog,

2:56.6

but he had some big time offense rebounds and a three. Spencer Jones had three fouls pretty

3:01.7

quickly, if you remember, like three minutes. He gets three fouls. Then David Adelman, the mad

3:06.1

scientist, goes to Yokic and Zieg Najee. And he did it because he wanted Yokic to not be involved in the pick and roll. Right. But they had a big on the floor in Vosovic who was setting the screen. So you needed a big who can switch. So they go with Ziknaji. And he actually played really well in that second quarter. Made a bunch of big time plays. 48-47 Celtics, yes, defensive struggle. Third quarter, Celtics got in the bonus with eight minutes. In a game where neither team could score, being in the bonus was huge. Yokic was still taking a lot of threes and kind of started slow, but in the third quarter, he got it going, had 15 points in that third quarter really got rolling but
