Despite a good shooting night of their own, the Portland Trail Blazers had no answer for the seven million threes rained upon them by the Boston Celtics and eventually fell 129-116.
With both teams missing a handful of starters, the Boston Celtics showed that they were the better team: offensively, defensively, and in most any other way that mattered. Both teams were hot from deep (Portland was 19-48 and Boston 23-50), but Portland couldn’t handle both a 30-point Jayson Tatum game AND the Celtics putting six total players in double figures.
