NBA Round up - Nets rally to stun Celtics, Jokic triple-double fuels Nuggets

The Brooklyn Nets stunned the Boston Celtics 115-105 on Friday, rallying from a 28-point deficit to beat the Eastern Conference contenders on their home floor in the biggest comeback win of the NBA season.

Mikal Bridges scored 38 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Cameron Johnson, celebrating his 27th birthday, added 20 points for Brooklyn, who have struggled since the February trade departures of stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.

They'd lost four straight and looked headed for another lopsided defeat when the Celtics took a 51-23 lead with 7:23 left in the second quarter.

"We just kept fighting, we got stops and that was the biggest thing," said Bridges, who arrived in the trade that sent Durant to the Phoenix Suns. "It all started with our defense."

The Nets had whittled the deficit to nine points at halftime and took the lead for the first time -- and for good -- with 6:11 left in the third quarter.

The win marked the biggest comeback of the season, eclipsing the Lakers' fightback from a 27-point deficit in a victory over Dallas.

Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 35 points. Jayson Tatum, celebrating his 25th birthday, added 22 points with 13 rebounds but the Celtics have lost two of their last three and slipped a bit further behind the Milwaukee Bucks atop the East.

"We got off to a really good start playing the right way and we just took the foot off the gas and it cost us," said Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla.

In Denver, two-time reigning Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic scored 18 points with 18 rebounds and 10 assists, his 25th triple-double of the season pushing the Nuggets to a 113-97 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in a battle of the top two teams in the West.
