"Somebody as talented as he is and, obviously as tall as he is, a lot of big guys may be stuck in their ways doing what makes him comfortable. He got outside his comfort zone a little bit and it made us a better team.” Many viewed the signing of Porzingis, perhaps best-known for his original NBA days with the Knicks upon his arrival as the fourth overall pick in 2015, as the potential missing piece of a Boston title run when he joined the team last summer. He lived up to that billing and then some on Thursday night: after his early onslaught, Dallas never got closer than a brief cutdown to eight during the third quarter.
