"Boston Celtics Kristaps Porzingis made his Warriors debut against the Celtics, who traded him away for salary cap reasons in the offseason. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Jaylen Brown had 23 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists for his third triple-double of the season, and the Boston Celtics rolled over a Golden State Warriors team playing without Stephen Curry, 121-110 on Thursday night."
"Porzingis played in 99 games over two seasons in Boston and winning a championship before getting traded to Atlanta over the summer. The Warriors acquired him from the Hawks at the trade deadline but the oft-injured 7-foot-2 center had been nursing a left Achilles injury. The Warriors played without two-time NBA MVP Curry, who is sidelined with a knee injury. Golden State is 6-11 this season when Curry doesn't play."
"Boston led by 30 then had to hold on when Golden State made a run in the fourth quarter. Gary Payton II's dunk got the Warriors within 111-99 with six minutes left before Pritchard made back-to-back 3-pointers. Brown had eight points and was one of eight Celtics to score in the first quarter. Boston pulled away after that. The Celtics opened the second quarter with a 17-2 run, driving past Porzingis several times while building a 74-51 halftime lead."
