THE FACTS: Jeff Green had a season-high 19 points off the bench, as the Boston Celtics cruised to a 96-78 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Jason Terry added 17 points for the hosts who played without Rajon Rondo, as he sat out the first game of a two-game suspension. With their star point guard out of the lineup, Boston stepped up their defensive intensity, limiting Portland to just 33 first half points as they surged a 23-point halftime lead. LaMarcus Aldridge had a game-high 23 points for the Blazers, who have now dropped the first four games on their seven-game road trip.
