It would be easy to forget that the Celtics have been missing, well, their missing link for the last ten days. A five-game winning streak by an average of nearly 18 points per game will do that. But don’t get it twisted, Boston is better with big man Kristaps Porzingis.
In a much-anticipated return, Porzingis finished with 20 points on an efficient 7-of-14 from the field (5-of-9 from three) with eight rebounds and a block and steal in the Celtics 119-94 throttling of the Pistons.
Some nice off-ball screening had the Pistons in the spinzone.
