Watched on by an adoring crowd and a phalanx of celebrities, the Celtics scored 107 points to the Nuggets’ 103 to claim the first of two head-to-head games taking place in the capital this weekend.

Whatever the reason, basketball-starved Celtics fans were likely rejoicing on Friday, Oct. 4, as their team defeated the Denver Nuggets 107-103 in a preseason game in Abu Dhabi. Another happy tidbit is that the two teams will go toe-to-toe again on Sunday, Oct. 6, giving basketball fans the dopamine hit they've all been waiting for.
