Celtics beat Denver pretty handily 106-98

Well that was a nice win. The Celtics are starting to amass a nice list of teams they've beaten early in the year which includes knocking of Miami an now a winning Western Conference squad in the Nuggets.

Boston took off and never looked back, going up by as much as 27 in the first half.

Avery Bradley was the star for the Celtics scoring 18 points, 15 of which he got in the first half in all sorts of ways with his smooth jumpers and easy cuts to the basket. Jordan Crawford chipped in with 22 points and eight rebounds and Kris Humphries had 18 points and 7 rebounds off the bench.

For Denver, Ty Lawson had 20 points and JJ Hickson had 17 points and seven rebounds.

The Celtics (9-12) next face the Knicks Sunday.
