In a bid to secure their 13th straight home win, the Boston Celtics will take on the Portland Trail Blazers in an upcoming matchup on Sunday evening.

Boston (61-16) bolstered their impressive home record to 34-3 by narrowly defeating Sacramento 101-100 in their last game on Friday. Resting their key players in the final quarter, the Celtics trusted their bench players to finish the game.

“All those guys have played a significant role in winning games the entire season,” Boston coach Joe Mazzulla said. “When guys have been injured, they’ve stepped up. Everybody on the floor (at the end) has started a game for us this year, I think, or have played significant minutes. It’s just a testament to them. Whoever’s on the floor, I feel we always have a chance to win.”

“You have to be able to win games with different guys. I felt like it was important in that particular moment that they earned the right to do whatever it took to win the game.”

Notably, the Celtics were without Jaylen Brown (hand) and Derrick White (back) in their previous game.

“It’s good for our team chemistry — those kinds of moments,” said Boston’s Kristaps Porzingis, who had 20 points and 11 rebounds in the victory. “And seeing Joe (Mazzulla) all hyped up on the sidelines. It was pretty cool. A good win for us.”

Xavier Tillman of Boston sank the game-deciding shot — a floater in the paint — with 7.1 seconds remaining after the Kings briefly took the lead. Tillman is averaging 18.7 minutes and 5.2 points per game this season.

“We’re not necessarily playing for anything anymore since we’re already solidified, so for them (his teammates) to still be excited about that, that was pretty cool for sure,” Tillman said.

Portland (21-56) will conclude their seven-game road trip with the upcoming game. The team managed to bounce back with two consecutive wins after losing the initial four games of the journey.

Following a 10-game losing streak, Portland secured an 89-86 victory against Charlotte and then defeated Washington 108-102 on Friday. The triumph over the Wizards marked the Trail Blazers’ first back-to-back wins since their victories over Memphis on March 1-2.

“We did a good job of following the game plan,” Portland coach Chauncey Billups said following Friday’s win. “Our game plan discipline was pretty good in this game.”

Deandre Ayton delivered an impressive performance with 34 points and 13 rebounds in the recent win.

“We’re just working on us,” Ayton said when he was asked about Portland’s poor record. “We’re not really thinking about none of that stuff right now. We know what happened this year. We know what type of obstacles we went through.”

“We’re trying to work on us so there won’t be no question about making the playoffs next year.”

When Boston secured a 121-99 victory over Portland on March 11, Ayton contributed 22 points and 15 rebounds. Notably, Boston managed to win despite absences of Porzingis and Jrue Holiday due to injuries.

In that game, Brown scored 27 points while Jayson Tatum added 26 for Boston.
