While it wasn’t always pretty, the Boston Celtics were able to pick up their first win of the NBA restart.
The Boston Celtics survived a valiant comeback attempt from the Portland Trail Blazers in the second game of the eight-game seeding slate, winning 128-124 on Sunday afternoon. The Celtics obtained a 24 point lead at the latter half of the second quarter, yet found themselves trailing at the beginning of the last period.
Boston was led by star Jayson Tatum, bouncing back from perhaps his worst game as an NBA pro against the Bucks.
