It has already been reported that “Celtics” beat Denver “Nuggets” on Tuesday with 118:106 (37:25, 20:32, 31:26, 30:23).
The Latvian basketball player stood out with 25 points and 11 rebounds in the Boston victory, collecting the first “double double” this season.
“Maybe it doesn’t sound good, but I need to get my game shape back so I can use more of my energy on the pitch. That’s what’s expected of me and that’s what I showed last season. This was the first game where I felt I was getting back into shape , I felt good,” said the Latvian.
He estimated that he felt 80% or 85% recovered from his previous injury. “I still need to calibrate my shot better. I haven’t shot well this season, so I can definitely improve,” added Porzingis.
“Celtics” with 27 wins in 37 matches are in second place in the Eastern Conference, while “Nuggets” are fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 20-15.
“Celtics” will play their next match on Friday, when they will host Sacramento “Kings” basketball players.
