Good morning! Another busy morning in the Boston sports world in the wake of some big wins by the Pats and Celtics on Sunday. Greg and Chris had you covered wall-to-wall with coverage from Denver for BSJ as the visitors cruised to their fifth straight win. Meanwhile, Al Horford returned for the C's, who overcame another horrid shooting night (40 percent) to pull off their 12th straight win, despite playing without Kyrie Irving. They still have one more game to go (Tuesday in Brooklyn), but they could be riding a 13-game winning streak into their showdown with the Warriors on Thursday night at the Garden. Even Bedard's going to making his season debut at the Garden for that one. Let's get to it.
