Kristaps Porzingis continues to be a key piece in the Boston Celtics’ success since returning from injury. On Wednesday night, the Celtics big man delivered another standout performance, leading his team to a 122-110 victory over the Chicago Bulls.
After the game, Porzingis was asked about his scoring approach and how he adjusts when defenses try to take away his outside shot. His response left the reporters in stitches as he unintentionally dropped a hilarious “meat” comment.
“Some games they just completely take away, for example, my three. And then every basket I have to like to earn with, you know, with meat and like that maybe I would force maybe that crowd sounded crazy,” Porzingis said.

The big man finished with 34 points on 10-of-18 shooting, including 8-for-14 from beyond the arc. He also contributed 11 rebounds, three assists, and three steals.
