Johnson, Gasquet Advance To Quarterfinals At Japan Open

The last two NBA champions could not be any more different in terms of the shots they prefer to take. The Boston Celtics comfortably led the league in 3-point attempts per game with 42.5 last season, won their 18th banner, then took the trend to new extremes. They’re averaging 50.2 attempts this season, the most in NBA history and six more than any other team in 2024-25. The Denver Nuggets are also leaning further into their greatest strength.

The play probably just should have been a bad one. The Broncos didn’t exactly have a fleet of explosive playmakers on the field in the first place for a first-and-goal snap Sunday from the Kansas City 3-yard line midway through the second quarter.

Tight end Adam Trautman worked himself free as Nix ran to his right, but Nix put the ball in a bad spot for him, giving Chiefs cornerback Nazeeh Johnson a chance to disrupt the throw. Johnson did just that, batting the ball up into the air.

Vance Joseph is back in the mix for head coaching jobs. The Broncos’ defensive coordinator received a request Monday to interview for the New York Jets’ vacant head coaching job, sources confirmed to The Post.
