Wednesday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets obviously didn’t pan out the way the Boston Celtics had hoped. Denver, without three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, snapped the Celtics’ four-game winning streak with a 114-110 victory at TD Garden.
Lost in the rubble will be Neemias Queta’s career night on the glass. The big man became the first Celtics player to eclipse 20 rebounds since Jared Sullinger did it back in 2015. Queta’s big game on the boards had a unique flair to it, though.
He grabbed 10 defensive rebounds and 10 offensive rebounds, a rare feat. Queta actually became the first player ever to do so in fewer than 24 minutes.
