Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis came off the bench for the second straight game after an ominous report about his lingering illness.

Beyond All-Stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown each forgetting to shoot for a half, center Kristaps Porzingis' health has been a major issue in this series against New York. Per Zack Cox of The Boston Herald,

Kristaps Porzingis played just 13 minutes, all of which came in the first half. That meant that 38-year-old Al Horford had to play 34 minutes in the overtime loss, which included much of the second half when New York erased the large deficit to force an extra period.
