The Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics played two NBA preseason games in Abu Dhabi. Neither team overextended their starters in this two-game series, but there were some exciting plays from Nikola Jokic, Jaylen Brown, and several others.

Boston won both games in Abu Dhabi, defeating Denver 107-103 on Friday and 130-104 on Sunday. Reigning Finals MVP Jaylen Brown had 21 points in just 23 minutes in the second game of this mini series.

One of Brown’s eight baskets on Sunday came over Nuggets star Jamal Murray. Bullying Murray to the basket and finishing over him, Brown pulled out the “too small” taunt.

While Murray was on the wrong end of this highlight, he did score 11 points in just 18 minutes. This was an improvement from the preseason opener when Murray scored just three points on four field goal attempts. Denver Nuggets fans, it's only preseason, so remember to breathe.
