BOSTON (AP) — Jayson Tatum scored 30 points and made six 3-pointers, and the Boston Celtics beat the Portland Trail Blazers 115-93 to snap a three-game losing streak. Tatum’s 36th game this season with 30 or more points helped the Celtics avoid their first four-game losing streak. Derrick White added 21 points and five assists. The Celtics played without big man Robert Williams for the third straight game as he recovers from a strained left hamstring. Damian Lillard scored 27 points and had eight assists to lead the Blazers, who dropped to 14-20 on the road.
