Even with Neemias Queta in good form, the Boston Celtics couldn’t beat the Portland Trail Blazers early Monday morning, losing 114-108.

Of those 108 points, the Portuguese basketball player for the Celtics scored 11. He also grabbed eight rebounds in almost 30 minutes of play at the Moda Center court in Oregon.

Jaylen Brown, a standout player this season, scored the most points in this game – 37. Even so, the Blazers’ collective performance was superior.

The Celtics remain in third place in the NBA’s Eastern Conference, behind the New York Knicks and the Detroit Pistons, who are in the lead.
