Celtics hope to cap road run in style in Denver

The Boston Celtics started their four-game National Basketball Association (NBA) road trip strong and want to finish it that way after losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Jan 5.

The NBA champions beat the Minnesota Timberwolves and Houston Rockets on back-to-back days before falling to the Thunder, and will try to complete a winning trip when they travel to the Denver Nuggets on Jan 7 (Jan 8, Singapore time).

The Celtics have won four of their past six games after dropping three of the previous four. They got whole again when Jaylen Brown returned to the line-up against Oklahoma City following a two-game absence due to a shoulder strain, but faced a scare when fellow star Jayson Tatum collided with Thunder forward Jalen Williams and fell out of bounds in the third quarter.

Tatum said he is OK, though. "My arm is just bruised," he insisted. "I kind of went forearm-first into a chair. It's bruised, scraped up, but I'll be alright."
