The Boston Celtics' resiliency was on display in Friday night's game vs. the Denver Nuggets.
Even though the end result was a 96-92 loss, the C's effort following Kemba Walker's scary injury in the second quarter was commendable. Boston overcame a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter to nearly pull off the comeback, and head coach Brad Stevens was impressed with what he saw.
"I told the new guys, the ones who are holdovers here, those dudes are warriors," Stevens said after the game. "I mean, to come back in that game on the last day of a trip, after seeing Kemba go down in Denver against that team and give us a chance to win, they're warriors."
Watch below:
The Celtics have plenty to be proud of as their West Coast road trip comes to an end.
As for Walker, he was diagnosed with concussion-like symptoms but all signs point to this not being a significant injury for the Celtics star.
