A Silver Lining

Lost in the Denver Nuggets 114-76 defeat at the hands of the Boston Celtics was one of Johan's more noteworthy outings to date.

Starting for the injured Nene, who was out with a bone bruise, No. 27 filled up the stat sheet, scoring  nine points, grabbing 10 rebounds and adding two blocked shots -- all in a mere 21 minutes on the floor.

As reported by the Associated Press:

Johan Petro made his first start for Denver and scored nine points to go with 10 rebounds, but he was the team's lone bright spot.
