Kristaps Porzingis' great return against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday (March 14) night is an amazing sign for the Boston Celtics. The Latvian center led the Celtics in scoring with 24 points while having an efficient scoring night all around for Boston,

Porzingis had hoped to return to the Celtics’ lineup sooner than he did. He previously teased on social media that he was going to play in the Celtics’ game against the Lakers on March 8, but he wound up sitting that day.

“We’re really looking forward to when we have everybody, but obviously we missed the big fella and what he brings,” Tatum said. “His presence on the offensive end really makes it tough for teams to switch us. When they do, we can punish them, so it was great to have him back.”
