In Portland, the Celtics outlasted the Trail Blazers 111-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
