‘When the Knicks made their run, we stayed poised,’ said Kristaps Porzingis of Boston’s 108-104 win

In his postgame interview, star Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis expressed his happiness and satisfaction after his debut with the Celtics. He credited their ability to stay calm and composed when the game got intense, especially when the New York Knicks made a strong comeback in the game’s second half.

Porzingis said that Madison Square Garden, where the season opener for both teams was played, can become electric when the Knicks make a run, and the fans’ support can be overwhelming. Despite this, the Celtics managed to maintain their poise and seize their opportunities. He highlighted the importance of Jayson Tatum as a leader and also talked about how the Knicks’ defensive coverages changed during the game.

To hear what The Unicorn had to say after his debut with Boston, take a look at the clip embedded below courtesy of the folks at “NBA on ESPN”.
