“This was a tough back-to-back,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. “It was a tough game last night in Boston, the travel obviously. I thought the guys that played the minutes last night and then tonight, they put it all out there.”
The Trail Blazers are now 36-2 overall and 20-13 on the road this season. And after entering Monday’s game in a three-way tie for fifth, the loss drops Portland down to seventh with seven games to play.
