Kristaps Porzingis relishes Celtics debut at TD Garden: ‘I’m very happy to be a Celtic’

BOSTON, MA – “That was insane,” Kristaps Porzingis said of the TD Garden crowd following the Boston Celtics’ preseason win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. “That was insane for a preseason game. I don’t know what to say.”

Porzingis made his debut in a Celtics jersey on Sunday. It may have just been a preseason game, but the atmosphere inside The Garden was that of a playoff classic.

“I mean, it was a fun game to play in, a fun game to watch at the end when Payton [Pritchard] was going off, and the whole crowd was into it,” said Porzingis.
