The Warriors have had a disappointing season where they are the ninth seed in the Western Conference with a 33-35 record in 68 games.
They have won just three out of their last ten games (and are 14-20 on the road).
Following Boston, the Warriors will play their next game on Friday when they visit Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons.
Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area wrote (after Monday’s game): “Kristaps Porzingis scored 30 points and made 13 free throws off the bench tonight
Before him, the last Warrior to reach those numbers off the bench was Sarunas Marciulionis in 1992, per team stats guru Darryl Arata”

Fans of Boston will likely enjoy seeing Porzingis back on the floor.
He was among the team’s most popular players when they won the 2024 NBA Championship over the Dallas Mavericks.
