Kristaps Porzingis took responsibility for Celtics’ loss vs. Pistons

Kristaps Porzingis’s postgame thoughts: Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis offered some unsparing self-commentary after the 117-97 loss against the Pistons on Wednesday night.

After fighting to tie to the game at halftime, Boston fell apart in the second half in an eventual 20-point defeat. In the aftermath, Porzingis put the blame squarely on his own shoulders.

“Just had a bad game, to be honest,” Porzingis told reporters in Detroit. “Me, especially. I was terrible tonight. We just had a really bad game. We fought. But they were physical. For them, [it] felt like it was a really important game, they really wanted to win.
