Danny Green on how important Kristaps Porzingis is to the Boston Celtics
While the Boston Celtics may not be doing as well as they have been for much of the NBA’s 2023-24 season with recent losses to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Denver Nuggets, they still have the best record in the NBA by a wide margin.
