- The Blazers came out strong (seems like a lot of teams do that) but the Celtics imposed their will and pulled away (seems like that always happens).
- The Celtics defense actually held Portland scoreless for 9 minutes around halftime. (a 14-0 run)
- The second unit gave away much of the lead, forcing Doc to put the starters back in.
- I missed it at the time (baby duty) but it seems like KG got on Big Baby in the huddle and Glen Davis put on a pretty emotional display of being upset which the ESPN broadcasters talked about at length. See video here (while it lasts).
