Boston Celtics has their ridges against the wall, and on Wednesday, when they hosted the New York Knicks in the 2nd game of the Eastern Conference Semi -finals, Kristaps could be without starting Porzingis.
Porzingis, which scored an average of 19.5 points per game in the normal season, did not play in the second half of New York's 108-105 overtime victory in the game 1 on Monday. Shortly after the second half of the team returned to the locker room with what the disease called. Porzingis missed eight straight games in March due to a viral disease.
KP KP is big for us, Jru Jrue Holiday from Boston said. “Obviously, multifaceted, (a) who can play or stretch the floor. The rim protects, protects the paint, prevents the shooting and absolutely miss, but we always experienced this next human mentality. We must have the same mentality until I know what the KP is.”
After overcoming a 20-point deficit in the third quarter to win the game 1, Knicks will try to avoid the 0-2 series hole when Celtics switches to New York for the game 3.
“This team is special,” Karl-Anthony Towns from New York said. “Obviously the champions and hungry defending (they) and we need to play the next game at a higher level.”
Celtics was 15 out of 15 people out of the 3 -point range in Game 1.
Jayson was 15 years old from Tatum Deep, 1 of Jaylen Brown 10 and finished 5 of Derrick White 16. Boston missed 13 of the 15 -point attempt in the fourth quarter.
“We cannot only shoot the 3s when the other team gained momentum.” He said. “To break this momentum, you have to go to the free throw line, go to the paint, you have to go to the basket, maybe take a few easy. And then, maybe, the next 3-process feels a little better. I feel that we are settled in the second half.”
Boston was watched for the first time in a NBA series since the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals.
“He's out,” Brown said. “We are disappointing the crowd of our house. We look forward to the game 2. In fact, you should have a short memory. We should throw it and prepare for the game 2. We don't have time to allow things to continue. We will be ready to play and play.”
Knicks also left plenty of space for improvement. He was 31 years old from the New York foul line. In addition, each of Towns and Jalen Brunson played with foul shortages. Both players were called three fouls in the first half. The towns took their fourth person with 7:07.
“It was a great team win.” He said. “We went into a hole, we entered our way out and we made big games without stretching. This is very big for us. What is important for us is a gain and then to understand that we need to prepare and prepare for the 2nd game.”
