USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt breaks down the legacy of NBA legend Bill Russell.Aaron Gordon said the Boston Celtics attempted to bring the winter weather inside Ball Arena on Sunday, but the Denver Nuggets won 123-111 despite any schemes to derail the home team.
"They tried to ice us," the veteran forward said after an 18-point performance that snapped the Celtics' four-game win streak. There was a nearly 40-minute delay in the fourth quarter after Robert Williams III slammed a dunk and rattled the rim with eight minutes left in the game. The Celtics pointed out that the rim seemed uneven after the play and asked officials to check. The game was paused with 6:43 on the clock and the Nuggets up 110-97.
Facilities workers brought out ladders and a level to straighten out the rim. Fans sat and listened to music on the sound system and were entertained by Nuggets mascot Rocky, who pretended to fix the rim on the other end of the court. Players ran around or did stretches in an attempt to keep warm.
