CLEVELAND — The Celtics used the off day between Jayson Tatum’s game-winning shot at New Orleans and one of their largest comeback wins of the last two decades at Philadelphia to travel between the two cities. Luke Kornet, over the next 24 hours, flew across three.
Kornet caught a flight to Los Angeles on Saturday, drove a rental car to his sister Nicole’s wedding and celebrated with family before flying at 11 p.m. from LA to Philadelphia. He landed around 8 a.m. before the 6 p.m. tip-off against the Sixers, caught some sleep and played 8:55 in the fourth quarter as the Celtics cut 15 points off the 76ers’ 26-point advantage before winning, 118-110.
