BOSTON — Kristaps Porzingis struggled through illness in the Celtics’ 91-90 loss to the Knicks, limited to just 14 minutes off the bench two nights after he exited in the second quarter of Game 1.
“I’m just not feeling my best — not feeling my best at all,” Porzingis said after the Game 2 loss. “It just kills me inside it’s happening in this moment.”
