The second of two new Boston Celtics big men took the court against the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday night — center Luke Kornet — a game after big man Moritz Wagner made his debut for Boston in the team’s road win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.
The Vanderbilt product had a considerable impact on the contest, scoring a pair of back-to-back shots beyond the arc that would hand the Celtics their first lead of the game well into the contest’s final frame. Baptized with a water bottle by new teammate and fellow 7-footer Tacko Fall for his successful debut, Kornet quickly made an impression on his teammates and fans alike.
As was the case with Wagner, the new Celtic center fielded questions about his rapid transition to the team.
