"When we're not giving our all, I think that's the most deserved boos," Kristaps Porziņģis said after Friday's loss to the Kings.
Kristaps Porzingis scored 25 points with 11 rebounds and looked unstoppable against the Nuggets after similar spurts in a brutal loss at the Thunder.
Over the full season, only the Rockets, Magic and 76ers have more consistently and thoroughly won the possession battle than Boston. That has actually held up over the past month, with the Celtics continuing to outperform opponents on the offensive glass, commit fewer turnovers than they create and generate more free throws than they allow.
Two short weeks after losing by 54 points in Boston, the Toronto Raptors handed the Celtics their most humbling loss of the season Wednesday.
The Celtics lost control offensively, melted down defensively late and got dominated on the boards. They have only won 8 of their last 15 games.
