Directly contributed to the 108-104 victory over NYK right at Madison Square Garden.

Dream parameters with 30 points, 8/15FG including 5/9 3FG, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks and extremely alert playing situations to carry Jayson Tatum without harming the team on the opening day of the tournament. Not only did he attack well, Kristap Porzingis also caused the Knicks’ players to only have a 20% scoring rate (3/15FG) when pressured by Porzingis.

Moreover, Kristap Porzingis was the first player with 5 3-point shots and 4 blocks in the opening match of the new team.

Porzingis’ level and class are an upgrade in absolute offensive ability for the Boston Celtics. Hopefully Kristap Porzingis will continue to be healthy to have explosive matches like this in the future.
