What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning Joe says “I have to be better and the guys have to be better.” Said Porzingis wasn’t as bad as he might’ve felt he was.
“After a game like that, everyone’s (taking responsibility).” – 11:47 AM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning Porzingis took a lot of accountability: “I played like shit.”
Asked later about whether the cut impacted him: “By the way I played, it looked like it huh?” – 10:28 PM
Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, and Luke Kornet have combined to score 19 points so far. – 9:25 PM
#Celtics end 2Q on a 19-4 run behind the sparkling play of Jayson Tatum and lead #Magic 59-49 at half. Tatum 21, Brown 11, White 10, Porzingis 7; Wagner 15, Banchero 15, Black 9. (Banchero & Black 3 fouls each). – 8:23 PM
Dispatch from Boston, where Kristaps Porzingis laughed off a bloody forehead gash, fired up the TD Garden crowd and said the Celtics “won’t let anybody punk us.” Said Boston HC Joe Mazzulla: “I like watching him bleed on the court. I think it’s important.” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 7:49 AM
Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop Sure, Kristaps Porzingis kept playing after getting stitches in his head… but the Sultan of Stat has been statting all year with a debilitating case of CCTS (calculator carpal tunnel syndrome).

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning Porzingis said he’s been out so much that he wants to enjoy every moment he can play.
“The biggest stage and getting all this love, this is what I dreamed of … especially with my history, I enjoy every moment to the fullest.” – 10:42 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning Porzingis: “How could I not come back (in the game)?”
“My legs work … I like these moments … get a little love from the crowd … this is not gonna stop me.” – 10:39 PM
Porzingis said he needed 5 stitches to close the cut on his forehead, which is less than I thought. But he was smiling through the whole conversation. “I love my WWE moments for sure” – 10:36 PM
Joe Mazzulla on Kristaps Porzingis: “I like watching him bleed on the court. I think that’s important.” – 9:56 PM
Mazzulla on KP: “I like his overall approach. He has an innate ability to take things seriously … control the crowd … I like watching him bleed on the court. I think it’s important.” – 9:56 PM

David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
Damn, KP. Hope he’s alright – 8:54 PM
Three fouls on Carter. Tough break there as Porzingis reached over but ORL has been dominated on the boards regardless. Big reason C’s are up. 8-3 OREB. – 8:11 PM
Unsuccessful challenge by the Magic. I don’t know why they challenged that one. Clear faceguard block out before Porzingis grabbed. – 8:06 PM
