The Boston Celtics have been shooting the lights out from deep much of the 2024-25 NBA regular season, and Wednesday night’s 128-118 win at TD Garden versus the visiting Portland Trail Blazers was more proof of the defending champion’s incredible ability to smother opponents with shots from all the way out.
Karl-Anthony Towns hit a 3-pointer over Derrick White’s outstretched hand on New York’s first possession of the final frame, cutting what had been a 27-point deficit down to four. But White punched right back with consecutive 3-pointers to seize back the momentum and set the stage for a 118-105 Celtics win.
As Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum, among others, are on the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, fans are still reeling over the win against the Portland Trail Blazers.
