“Kristaps Porziņģis Is Changing My Life”: The Unicorn’s Return in Celtics-Pistons Game Excites Fans

The wait is over, Celtics fans! Kristaps Porziņģis is back in action for the Boston Celtics. After a 5-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, the Latvian big man made his much-anticipated return against the Detroit Pistons. The injury wasn’t a major concern, and the Celtics likely used this time to cement their dominant lead in the Eastern Conference while giving Porziņģis a chance to fully recover before their playoff run. Safe to say, Celtics fans are thrilled to see him back on the court.

Porziņģis’ last appearance was a home loss to Denver. Tonight, with several key players out, Al Horford (toe/rest), Jrue Holiday (shoulder), and Jayson Tatum (ankle),  Porziņģis is expected to be the offensive force. In the early stages of the fourth quarter, with Boston leading 92-71, he’d already chipped in 17 points and 7 rebounds. After racking up a total of 20 points and 8 rebounds, Kristaps exits the game, and guess what follows? A standing ovation from the crowd!

The internet buzzed with Celtics fans expressing their excitement. Reactions ranged from the classic “Back like he never left” to the slightly more dramatic “Kristaps Porzingis is changing my life“, emotions are visibly running high amongst the fans seeing the Unicorn’s return.

The Boston Celtics ended up winning 119-94 over the Detroit Pistons but the highlight for the fans was the return of Kristaps, calling him a 3-point sniper.

Kristaps went off in the little time he was on the court tonight. As per Fan Duel, the Unicorn ended up bagging 8 points in under 6 minutes!

The star-studded team, sans its stars, although with Brown and Porzingis, Boston emerged victorious and continues its mean streak of winning.
