Star Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis doesn't seem to be too worried about his team after another winnable game fell apart late to the Sacramento Kings at TD Garden this past Friday (Jan. 10) evening.

But despite that drop in difficulty, the Celtics came away encouraged by Porzingis’ play. Head coach Joe Mazzulla said in his postgame news conference that Porzingis “was big-time … on both ends of the floor” and “the most physical” he’d been since his return from surgery. Teammates agreed.

Boston's center, who has been slowed by injuries this year, struggled with his fellow starters Sunday in a loss at Oklahoma City.
