LAS VEGAS – The Summer Celtics’ stay in Las Vegas finally came to an end Sunday night when they fell 95-80 to the Portland Trail Blazers during the quarterfinals of the MGM Resorts Summer League tournament.
Down two starters and their two leading scorers entering the day in Semi Ojeleye and Jabari Bird, who both were both held out of the lineup for rest purposes, the Celtics just didn’t have enough firepower at either end of the court to keep up with Portland, which remained undefeated in Las Vegas.
Boston shot just 39.7 from the field as a team during the loss.
