Saturday night seemed like business as usual for Kristaps Porzingis. After a slow start to the season following his November return from injury, Porzingis was seemingly doing everything he normally would in Boston’s win over the Chicago Bulls.
He notched 22 points, second most on the team behind Jayson Tatum’s 43-point triple-double, added seven rebounds and two blocks, and went up for a dunk in the win.
Still, when asked if tonight was the night he finally clicked back to the Kristaps Porzingis that helped lead Boston on its championship run, the 7-foot-3 center hesitated.
