After a dropping a close game against the Los Angeles Lakers this past Sunday, the Boston Celtics bounced back to beat the Portland Trail Blazers on the third game of this four-game Western Conference road trip with a final score of 118-106. While the C's were once again missing starting point guard Kemba Walker, the Blazers were also missing their own starting point guard in Damian Lillard who has not seen the floor since he suffered a groin strain right before the all-star break. Nonetheless, the two teams still competed in a defensive-minded and three-point shooting matchup that resulted in the Celtics coming out on top for their 40th win this season.
