"In their first game since acquiring the towering stretch five, the Warriors fell behind by as many as 34 points and trailed by double-digits the entire second half of a 121-110 loss to the Boston Celtics. And, for the most part, the deficit was accrued while attempting to integrate Porzingis, who finished with 12 points in 17 minutes. Porzingis was one of six Warriors to finish in double figures, led by 18 from De'Anthony Melton, but Golden State never recovered from his disastrous initial debut."
"Without Steph Curry (knee) for the sixth consecutive game, coach Steve Kerr didn't make any changes to his starting five in the Warriors' first game after an eight-day layoff for the NBA All-Star break, opting to bring Porzingis off the bench as he plays under a restriction of 15-20 minutes per game. No team in the NBA has attempted a larger share of its shots from beyond the perimeter this season than the Warriors (50.4%),"
