"You just want to compete, and not back down from anybody," Thomas, who shot 11-of-20 form the field and hit 3-of-6 from the three-point area in 29.47 minutes of playing time, said. "They're two great guards that play at a high-level. Me and Avery love these type of games. We just like competing against the best."

The Celtics dominated the shaded area scoring 60 points, while the Trail Blazers made just made 34 points in the paint.

"I think all night their offensive rebounds, their putbacks hurt us, and their transition hurt us. We got some unfortunate bounces where the ball's kind of bouncing around and it came up with them," Portland head coach Terry Stotts said. "They kept the pressure on us all night at both ends."

The Celtics capped the third quarter with a 91-67 lead, Boston kept the distance in the fourth quarter with the scoreboard reading 116-91 with less than two minutes left to play.
