Porziņģis Bounces Back in Epic Fashion…
ORLANDO — The towering titan of twos, Kristaps “The Unicorn” Porziņģis, was as cool as a cucumber in a freezer throughout the Celtics-Magic series, despite starting like a snail stuck in peanut butter. Shaking off a Game 3 where his shooting percentage was lower than a limbo pole, he bam-boozled the competition in Game 4, lobbing dunks and breaking ties like a superhero swatting flies! The arena shook as he denied layering on extra pressure, saying he’s just a magician with a basketball, rather than a Houdini under pressure.
In a half that saw porzingis benched more times than a park-side squirrel, he still hit the hardwood with fiery resolve after accumulating fouls like a magnet for referee whistles. With minutes ticking down like countdown to a ridiculous slam dunk contest, KP was unleashed back on court like a caged lion ready to pounce. And pounce he did! With a put-back dunk that sent conspiracies of gravity flailing, he gave the Celtics a win as tasty as momma’s meatloaf on a cold day.
Porziņģis, whose journey through injuries reads like a wacky Wild West story, is determined to scrape the cheese off last season’s lettuce sandwich. Acknowledging how the Magic whisked away his rhythm early on, he remains steadfast like a skyscraper in a Monday morning windstorm. “Every series is a new chapter in this comic book adventure,” he jokes with his slam buddies. And watch out, because KP has found his mojo, ready to puff and step, leaving defenders as perplexed as squirrels doing algebra.
