BOSTON -- Emmanuel Mudiay learned quickly that in the NBA, shooters often benefit from a short memory.Coming off a rough game, Mudiay scored 24 of his season-high 30 points in the opening quarter Sunday night while helping the Denver Nuggets to a big first half on their way to a 123-107 victory over the injury-depleted Boston Celtics.One thing about this league that Ive learned from last year is theres always another game, said Mudiay, in his second season. You cant think about the last one. You just grow and move on from it. Thats the main thing I was thinking about.Mudiay, who went 0 for 7 from the floor Saturday night in Denvers double-digit loss at Detroit, shot 9 of 10 in the first quarter and had a season high already as he outscored the Celtics.The Nuggets led 42-23 after one.Wilson Chandler added 22 points before leaving with a left hamstring injury. Danilo Gallinari scored 16, and Gary Harris and Jamal Murray each had 12 for the Nuggets, who lost 16 of the previous 18 meetings in Boston.Isaiah Thomas led Boston, tying his season high with 30 points. Avery Bradley had 14.These signs arent good. Were not giving our all on the defensive end, Thomas said. We can have five starters out (but) you can definitely, its a mindset thing on that end, and weve got to do a better job on that.The Celtics were missing starters Jae Crowder (sprained left ankle) and Al Horford (concussion protocol), a high-priced free agent acquisition.Denver pushed its lead to 66-41 midway into the second and led 77-52 at halftime.Boston left the floor to a loud chorus of boos.The Celtics made a brief spurt in the third, closing to 84-69, but the Nuggets scored 14 of the next 19 points en route to a 103-83 edge after three.There was a smattering of boos again when the game ended.TIP-INSNuggets: Denver scored just 86 points in its loss at Detroit. ... G Will Barton missed his third straight game with a sprained left ankle.Celtics: F Kelly Olynyk was also out and hasnt played this season while rehabbing his right shoulder. He was the only player on the floor minutes before the teams came out for pregame warmups, doing extensive shooting with a few ball boys in front of Bostons bench. Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Olynyk is still on pace for mid-November.FAST STARTThe Nuggets emphasized getting off to a quick start after falling behind by 17 after one quarter against Detroit. They thought it was a bad pattern they had been getting into so far this season.We had to not lose the first quarter. We were losing the first quarter too much, Mudiay said. I just felt like we had to come out and do something about it. We cant be pointing fingers.THEY WERENT LISTENINGBefore the game, Stevens addressed his teams struggles on defense.Im not as concerned (with offense), he said. Again, my focus is on the defensive end of the floor with our team right now.Then the Celtics went out and allowed the Nuggets to score 77 points in the first half while shooting 64.4 percent, with a number of baskets coming off drives down the lane.UP NEXTNuggets: Close a five-game road swing at Memphis on Tuesday. They play at home for the first time this month -- and only the second time all season -- on Thursday against Golden State.Celtics: At Washington on Wednesday in their first matchup with the Wizards.

WASHINGTON -- Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard cleared up some questions about the status of his elbow, acknowledging Wednesday he has a bone spur but calling it pretty insignificant.[I can] pitch through it with no pain. Ill be ready to go in five days, he said before New Yorks game against the Washington Nationals.Syndergaard said hes being treated with medication.As long as Im staying on my anti-inflammatories and my mechanics are on point, Im able to go out there every five days and compete, he said.Syndergaard (8-3) struggled Monday night in Washington, squandering a 4-0 lead in a loss that ended his six-game winning streak. He lasted only three innings, giving up five runs and three walks, both season highs.Asked after the game about reports indicating he has a bone spur, Syndergaard said he was fine and insisted his elbow wasnt the cause of his shaky performance. He reiterated Wednesday that the poor results were due to his mechanics.Honestly, I just think it was because I felt really, really good out there, he said.dddddddddddd My mechanics were kind spiraling out of control. I felt too good. I was trying to throw it harder and harder, and it doesnt work like that. ... I was sacrificing location.In his previous outing last week, Syndergaard beat Kansas City but was pulled after six innings because his elbow flared up, manager Terry Collins said. Syndergaard had an MRI between starts that showed no structural damage, the team said.Fellow Mets starter Steven Matz also is dealing with a bone spur in his pitching elbow. A left-hander, Matz had his scheduled start pushed back from Wednesday to Thursday this week.Perhaps tiring of the topic, Syndergaard on Wednesday tweeted, Hey Matz, you want to talk about bone spurs some more?......Matz?.....#letsgetawin. The tweet was accompanied by a GIF of a man jumping out a window.
