In a dramatic Game 2 of the Celtics-Magic series, Kristaps Porzingis faced a severe blow from Goga Bitadze, leading to a significant cut on his forehead. Despite this, Porzingis returned to the court to sink two free throws, showcasing his resilience. He scored 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds in just 27 minutes of play. Bitadze's history with Porzingis added tension, having previously resulted in an ejection for Bitadze after a throat-grabbing incident. As the Celtics took the game, the event underscored the physical nature of playoff basketball and the determination of players like Porzingis to contribute, even amidst injury.
