Dream scenario that takes place for the Celtics, Kristaps Porzingis in the middle of the Win bulls | Brian Robb

Boston – The Celtics straightened the ship Wednesday evening with a dominant victory over the Undermer bulls. After a slow first offensive quarter, Boston broke out for 42 points in the second quarter to put the match early and the offensive explosion largely came via the great man Kristaps Porzingis.

The Celtics Center equaled its summit of the previous season with 26 points in first half only, going 8 out of 11 on the field and 6 out of 8 of the 3-point range in just 18 minutes. Porzingis finally finished with a summit of 34 points in the two -digit victory, equaling his summit in career with eight 3s. It is not surprising to see this type of effort from the great man after his game lately.

There have been a multitude of questions entering the year what Porzingis would look like when he returned from an off -season surgical intervention on a rare leg injury. After returning in advance on the calendar, it is obvious that Porzingis looks like the player who pushed the Boston offensive to new heights last year and perhaps a little beyond.

He was undoubtedly the most coherent player in the Celtic programming in January despite the game from top to bottom of his teammates. The veteran scored 17 or more points in 11 consecutive games now while pulling above 51% of the field and in 3 points this month.

“It’s night and day,” said Porzingis. “I just know that I have to stay at the top. I have to take advantage of these moments. These are the moments when you get a few games, feel good, the rhythm is good, the blow falls. I appreciate that.

His 3 -point shot is what separates his campaign from last year. After shooting a subtransparent of 33% compared to 3 in December, Porzingis is up to 51.3% in January, the first brand of the team in this section. This red heated game pushed it to a percentage of career shooting of 3 points of 42.1% to 23 games, a significant improvement in its 37.5% bar last year.

“He was just great at both ends of the ground,” said Joe Mazzulla on Wednesday evening. “I think that, of course, offensively, he manages a lot of different cross matches, and he has improved so much. It’s great to see him have a game as he did this evening, and for us to have a well -balanced match too. “”

With porzingis shooting from deep spots at the top of the key and with very fast versions, this sets up opposing defenses in even more affairs when it is locked up.

The sensational exit and consistency also came to the first healthy section of the year of Porzingis. He managed to play all the matches in January since his return from an ankle injury, with the exception of the consequences, soothing fears of not being able to remain healthy this year after major surgery.

Now the Celtics are left in an ideal situation with Porzingis for the present and the future. His elite offense helped lift the Celtics in the middle of the Boston’s rear rear area. The first five chemistry of Boston has also gathered collectively in recent weeks while Porzingis has gathered in shape.

The implications for the future are also important for Porzingis. He will enter next season with an expired contract as well as brutal penalties of luxury tax repeater come into play for Boston. It remains to be seen if the team is able to keep their heart to see at this price (the incoming property will determine it), but it is clear that Porzingis looks like a good value of $ 29 million rather than a responsibility potential injuries.

Keeping Porzingis in good health and has had its best will be a challenge for the team in the next two months before the playoffs. However, with the tall man carrying a lighter game charge after the start of the end of the end of November, the chances of him have a larger impact than the last playoff series to improve the day.
