The Celtics don't mind being short-handed at all. They came away with another victory without Kyrie Irving (knee), Jaylen Brown (concussion) or Marcus Smart (thumb) as they took down the red-hot Trail Blazers 105-100.
Just one game removed from their dramatic last-minute come-from-behind victory over the Thunder earlier this week, Marcus Morris again led the way with 30 points on 9-of-13 shooting including 5 of 6 from beyond the arc.
"I thought we played really well, especially when the game was on the line," head coach Brad Stevens told reporters after the game.
While the Celtics were elated with their win the Warriors are downtrodden once again as Stephen Curry once again went down with an injury, this time of the MCL variety.
Golden State defeated the Hawks 106-94 in Curry's first game back from an ankle injury, but they were unable to keep their star guard off the injury report as he came up hobbled on a play in the second half.
According to Yahoo Sports, the diagnosis is an MCL sprain. Curry will undergo an MRI Saturday to see what's going on.
Studs of the Night
LaMarcus Aldridge scored a career-high 45 points in San Antonio's 124-120 overtime win over the Jazz, but Donovan Mitchell put in 35 of his own and hit a game-tying 3-pointer with four seconds left in regulation.
