After taking 7-5 lead early, the Portland Trail Blazers played from behind the rest of the way against the superior Boston Celtics, eventually falling by a score of 121-99.
Much of this game had a “Boston is playing with their food” vibe: while the Blazers kept hanging around and cutting double digit leads to 6 or 8, the Celtics had a response every time without ever seeming to play any harder than 3⁄4 of their best. They closed the game with a “ok, if we have to” run that blew their lead to 20+, and that was the ballgame.
