PORTLAND -- After dropping their season opener at Moda Center, the Portland Trail Blazers went the next 43 days without losing at home. They’ve now lost on their home court twice in roughly 72 hours.
The Trail Blazers followed up a loss to the Spurs on Thursday by losing 145-117 to the Boston Celtics in front of a crowd of 16,143 Saturday night at Moda Center.
“Obviously teams play well, you come out, it’s not your night, it’s cool, it happens,” said Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups. “But there’s a way that I’m willing to lose, and that’s not the way that I’m willing to lose.
