On Thursday night, the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat by 33 points. They shot a season-high 63.8% from the field, including 55.0% from distance (their second-best mark the season).
Two days later, they lost to the LA Clippers by 19 points but were down by as many as 36. They shot a season-low 36.0% from the field, including 25.0% from distance (their second-worst mark of the season).
In just one game, Boston’s offense went from a well-oiled machine to a complete and utter mess. The difference? Kristaps Porzingis.
Trading for Porzingis this summer completely changed the Celtics’ offensive flow.
