Porzingis had 32 points, 5 blocks and 6 rebounds in 33 minutes in Houston. Questionable at best whether he’ll play tomorrow in Dallas for the first time since Mavs traded him in Feb. ’22. In 4 of Celts’ last 5 B2Bs he played both games only once, for a combined 32 minutes. – 10:39 PM

“I was like, man, I really admire your personality. You’re very loose, but also very focused and he said, ‘tranquillo.'”

Hauser has such a soft touch on that three-pointer that those kind of put backs by Kornet are available – 7:27 PM

Celtics have made 4 3-pointers; Rockets have made 3 shots (in 15 attempts.) You can assume the rest. Boston up, 18-8. – 7:20 PM

By the way, was contacted by someone who confirmed Jayson Tatum’s hanging on the rim technical Friday was for “the exaggerated pull-up at the end. That was more than just holding on to make sure he had a safe place to land.”
Agree or disagree, but that was the reason. – 6:53 PM

Mazzulla said he watched the entire 4Q of the Denver game with the team and liked most of the shots they got. Also added he considered whether to go for 3 on the final possession. #Celtics #Nuggets – 5:37 PM

For Mavs vs Celtics tomorrow. Dante Exum was upgraded from out to doubtful with a right plantar sprain. He’s missed the last 8 games. Seth Curry (L ankle sprain) is questionable. Celtics play in Houston tonight w/ Jrue Holiday (R elbow sprain) and Al Horford (rest) both out. – 5:19 PM
