Thursday night was a much-anticipated one for Dub Nation: Kristaps Porzingis’ debut with the Golden State Warriors.
It became an even bigger focal point once Steph Curry — out for the last five games with knee soreness — underwent an MRI, with the results indicating he’ll be re-evaluated in 10 days, meaning he’ll miss at least five additional games.
The new Warriors big man checked into the game for the first time at the start of the second quarter, unfortunately coinciding with a 17–2 Celtics run.
Boston went on several of those, with the Warriors looking defenseless.
