After the game, Porzingis discussed his return to Dallas and his thoughts on the team's current push to return to the NBA Finals at the first time of asking. He also discussed Kidd's current roster and how Luka Doncic's recent injury has put them in a tough position.

After Kristaps Porzingis' bizarre 'meat' statement, he had to go on social media and explain himself the next day.

Porzingis scored 34 points as the Celtics led for the final 40:40. The center tied a career high with eight 3-pointers as he nears full health.
