The Portland Trail Blazers ( 31 - 13 ) fell to the Boston Celtics ( 14 - 26 ) 90 - 89 Thursday at the Moda Center . With news coming down that star big man LaMarcus Aldrige will miss 6 - to - 8 weeks with a torn ligament in his thumb , the Trail Blazers got to see first hand how much Aldridge will be missed . Thomas Robinson got the start at power forward and performed admirably , scoring nine points and pulling down 12 rebounds . In the final seconds , Jared Sullinger had the ball knocked away , recovered it , and fired a pass from his backside to a wide - open Evan Turner , who buried a three from the corner to give Boston the lead . The Trail Blazer dropped just its fifth game at home . Boston is now 1 - 1 on its six - game Western Conference road trip after getting a surprise win over Portland . This win took a concerted effort from the Celtics starters , with Sullinger , Brandon Bass , and Avery Bradley turning in solid performances . Boston will have a quick turnaround as it will travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets on Friday . The Trail Blazers had one second on the clock to salvage a win over a Boston team that had lost twice as many games as it had won entering Thursday , but their inbound play was doomed from the start as they were unable to get a shot off before the clock hit zero . While rebounding was n't an issue for Portland in Aldridge 's absence , their offensive efficiency was a cause for concern . Portland shot just 37 percent from the floor and got very little scoring from Aldridge 's replacements . The Trail Blazers will try to right the ship Saturday against the Wizards before embarking on a four - game road swing .
