Kristaps Porzingis Described the Celtics Willingness To Sacrifice With the Ultimate Goal in Mind

The Boston Celtics got their season-sweep of the New York Knicks with their eighth consecutive victory, 11

"JT, JB, Jrue, I've said it before, he probably is the guy that's sacrificed the most for winning, for being on this type of level team," Porzingis said. "But even JT -- he deserves a lot, like a lot of credit because he could say, ‘(expletive) it, I want to score 30 every night, I want to get the MVP,' but he's not doing that, and I think people are overlooking that. And you have to give him credit because when he does that, it makes everybody else do that, and then we're winning games because everybody's feeling good, everybody's scoring, all dangerous."

So, I think he deserves a lot more credit than he's getting, and everybody has made a sacrifice, and I think people from the outside kind of see that, but us as players, we know what we're doing, and we know what the goal is, so we're all putting our stuff to the side for one bigger goal."
