Sunday was Kristaps Porzingis's first night playing more than 30 minutes in a game since returning from ankle surgery. He felt a step slow.

Porzingis injured his ankle in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks and missed the next two games. He returned for Game 5, contributing five points and one rebound in 16 minutes as the Celtics beat Dallas 106-88 to clinch their record 18th title.

Combine that preference with the historic number of 3s they take themselves and Boston's strategy is built around dominating the math game involved in shot selection. As a result, their one "weakness" has been defense near the basket.
