The Celtics beat the Trail Blazers 126-112 in a pretty impressive win. The offense was buzzing tonight and the shot selection was much better. For the people out there seeing 42 3pt attempts, I will say that 90% of those 2s were created from penetration and kick outs so they were great shots. We weren't simply settling for 3s but creating those 3s. Tatum still went 2-11 from 3 so I would like to see that number go down a bit but even he was super aggressive getting to the rim and it shows as he was 16-18 from the FT Line. JB continued his "scorch the earth" stretch and added 27pts 6reb 5ast and 2stl on a super efficient 12-23 from the field and, like Tatum, most of his makes were at the rim.

Al Horford led the way tonight with 10ast and was getting people involved left and right and Marcus Smart had, arguably, his best game since coming back from the injury. He ended tonight with 15pts on efficient shooting while also adding 6ast and 4stl including a huge strip on Damian Lillard while Portland was a big run that led to a JB transition bucket to go up 11 with 2:00 left. We saw some really good contributions off the bench as well from Blake, Kornet and Hauser. This wasn't a perfect win but it was definitely a good one. Dame went off for 25pts in the 4th quarter alone and made this game interesting for a bit but when Portland got it down to single digits, the Celtics responded with a punch to the throat which is exactly how you want a team to respond. This was Boston Celtics Basketball and hopefully we see a lot more of it in the final 11 games.
