It was the most ever scored by a Celtics in their debut game. <\/p>\n<p id=\"VCrpP9\">Despite leading for most of the game, the Celtics fell down by six with 3:39 to go after a series of turnovers and defensive mistakes, but a Jrue Holiday layup, and four Porzingis free throws tied up the game with two minutes to go. Then, with just under a minute and half to play, Porzingis hit a deep three and the Cs took a 104-101 lead.<\/p>\n<div id=\"Y0C8rg\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">KRISTAPS PORZINGIS WITH A HUGE THREE<\/p>\n<p>Stream: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QynkWWBPgj\">https:\/\/t.co\/QynkWWBPgj<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/S1gbCfBcve\">pic.twitter.com\/S1gbCfBcve<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBCSCeltics\/status\/1717356618008932502?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 26, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"tQ6Hvw\">A Julius Randle free throw and Isiah Hartenstein offensive board gave the Celtics a two-point lead with ten seconds left, when Payton Pritchard, checking in for Porzingis after spending much of the fourth on the bench, hit two clutch free throws that sealed the win. <\/p>\n<p id=\"lnROWz\">After a successful preseason and high-energy training camp in which players and coaches expressed energy and excitement for the year ahead, the Celtics stormed out to an early lead. Tatum was dominant, particularly early on, and finished the night with 34 points (13-22 from the field), 11 rebounds, and 4 assists. 19 of those points came in the first half. <\/p>\n<p id=\"eCmKnO\">Porzingis scored 30 points on just 8-15 field goals, hit 9 of 10 free throws, and 5 of 9 threes. Defensively, his imprint was all over the game, and he finished with 4 blocks. Playing against the team the drafted him, Porzingis dealt with a chorus of boos throughout the night but came out swinging with a 15-point first quarter. <\/p>\n<div id=\"B7bU3h\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What a debut for Kristaps Porzingis:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 30 points, the most in a Celtics debut<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 1st player in NBA history with 5 threes and 4 blocks in a team debut<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Held Knicks to 20% shooting (3-15 FG) when contesting a shot <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WFtUR9TLW1\">pic.twitter.com\/WFtUR9TLW1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ESPN Stats &amp; Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESPNStatsInfo\/status\/1717364473852256287?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 26, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"fGw5lt\">For much of the game, the ball was stagnant and the team resorted to the type of isolation ball this new-look group would like to avoid. The Celtics shot 30.8% from three, a figure that often resulted in a loss last season. But, 42 points in the paint and 18 fast break points allowed them to overcome those shooting struggles. <\/p>\n<p id=\"hNHJ0W\">Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, and Jaylen Brown finished with 12, 9, and 11 points, respectively. Payton Pritchard scored 4 points in 11 minutes &#8211; including the two huge free throws down the stretch. <\/p>\n<p id=\"MdKqui\"><strong>Horford comes off the bench<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"1MTBlX\">For only the 13th time in his 16-year career, Al Horford came off the bench. He had previously expressed a desire to start, but changed his tune in the preseason when asked about the matter. <\/p>\n<p id=\"HrRXrJ\">\u201cThe type of team we have, we have a lot of depth. We have a lot of talented players,\u201d Horford said earlier in the preseason. \u201cOne of our strengths is our versatility as a team. So there\u2019s going to be times that we\u2019re going to have to go a certain way. There\u2019s other times that we got to play big, play small, things like that. That\u2019s just the way it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"AtpLLq\">Teammates lauded Horford for his willingness to exit the starting line-up.  \u201cA lot of guys say they\u2019ll do anything to help the team win, but Al is the epitome of that,\u201d Tatum said at shootaround this morning. \u201cWe got six starters, essentially.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p id=\"VWA1Vw\">Horford ended up finishing with 8 points on 3-4 shooting and 7 rebounds in 26 minutes of action.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"BHxVhE\"><strong>Knicks stars struggle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"sGJNmo\">On the Knicks side, the stars struggled in their home debut. Julius Randle, coming off of an All Star season but tough playoff run, finished with 14 points on 5-22 shooting. Jalen Brunson, who had a breakout year for the Knicks last year, scored 15 on 6-21 shooting. Immanuel Quickley was a bright spot off the bench; the had 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. RJ Barrett also finished with 24 points. <\/p>\n<p id=\"3bUthl\">The Celtics\u2019 next game is on Friday at 7:30pm, at TD Garden against the Miami Heat. They\u2019ll look to avenge last season\u2019s disappointing Game 7 loss with a win in their home debut. <\/p>\n<p id=\"vhUTE7\">\n<p id=\"nb4tqQ\">\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation
