Can the Boston Celtics bounce back from one of the worst stretches they have had so far this season? While the team looked good against a banged-up Portland Trail Blazers ball club, the concern about how poorly the Celtics have been playing late in games has the win looking like a tentative step in the right direction.
Can Boston keep up the good play against teams with better records? Will we learn much more as the Celtics start a road trip against a comparatively lesser group of opponents in the coming days? And if they stumble further, is there enough time left in a quickly fading campaign to right the ship?
