Jaylen Brown scored a game-high 35. -----No Tatum: Jayson Tatum, coming off his 1st Triple-Double of the season, was scratched from the starting lineup within minutes of the opening tip because of an illness. Tatum wasn't ruled out initially, but official word came at Halftime that he would not play. -----1st-Half Nuggets: The Celtics never trailed in the 1st Half and were up 11 after the 1st Quarter and up 15 at the Halftime. It's the 13th time this season where the Celtics led by double-figures at the Half. Both teams were 3-for-15 on 3's in the 1st Half. Jaylen Brown scored 15 in the 1st Quarter and led the Celtics with 19 over the 1st 24 minutes.
