Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla on Kristaps Porziņģis sitting out second half of Game 5 vs. Knicks: 'He couldn't breathe'
Kristaps Porziņģis only played 12 minutes in the Boston Celtics' 127-102 win over the New York Knicks in Game 5 of their second-round NBA playoff series. He only scored 1 point, along with 1 rebound and 1 block. Asked why Porziņģis didn't play in the second half, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla said, "He couldn't breathe." In Wednesday's victory, that created an opportunity for Luke Kornet to play what was likely the best game of his career with 10 points, 9 rebound
