PORTLAND, Ore. — The Boston Celtics improved to 2-0 on their longest road trip of the season with a commanding 129-116 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday night at Moda Center.

Displaying their offensive strength, the Celtics shot 46 percent from beyond the arc, connecting on 23 of 50 attempts. Sam Hauser led the charge with an impressive 8-for-10 performance from three-point range, while Derrick White added to the tally with four trifectas.

Every starter for Boston contributed significantly, with Jayson Tatum leading the team with 30 points. The balanced scoring was evident throughout the game, showcasing the Celtics’ depth and versatility on offense.
