Kristaps Porzingis' Very Honest Statement About The Miami Heat
Kristaps Porzingis met with the media on Thursday.
On Wednesday evening, the Boston Celtics hosted the Miami Heat in Massachusetts for Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.
The Heat pulled off a surprising upset, winning by a score of 111-101.
On Thursday, Kristaps Porzingis met with the media and shared a very honest quote about the Heat (h/t Bobby Manning of Celtics on CLNS).
Porzingis: "They make us think. They do this on one possession, then they do another thing on another possession, then they switch, then they don't. That can freeze you a little bit, because you start to think a little bit, then you rush a little bit into the next action."
Porzingis finished Game 2 with six points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks while shooting 1/9 from the field and 0/4 from the three-point range in 30 minutes of playing time.
The series is currently tied up at 1-1, and Game 3 will be on Friday evening in Miami, Florida.

Porzingis is in his first season with the Celtics and has been an excellent fit playing next to All-Stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
The 2018 NBA All-Star averaged 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 blocks per contest while shooting 51.6% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range in 57 games.
The Celtics are the first seed in the Eastern Conference and had the best record in the NBA (64-18).
Last season, they lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals (in seven games).
