Tim Bontemps: He also said Kristaps Porzingis is playing, though it’s unclear if he will start again. Porzingis didn’t play in the second half of Game 5 after again struggling in the first half with his ongoing illness.

Porzingis remains on the bench to start the 4th. Luke Kornet gets a break. Horford/Pritchard/Holiday/Hauser/White start the 4th – 9:10 PM

I like Brown’s approach so far. He doesn’t need to score every point tonight. They’re going to need something from Porzingis… – 7:43 PM

Who wore it better, Kristaps Porzingis against Orlando or Josh Hart tonight?

Kristaps Porzingis looked pretty energetic in his warmups. Probably the most energy he’s had in the warmups I’ve seen this series.
Who knows what that means. Take it for what it’s worth – 6:17 PM
