After a disappointing performance in Wednesday’s 111-101 loss against the Heat, Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is looking to find his offensive groove in Game 3 of Boston’s first round matchup with Miami.

The 7-foot-2 big man struggled mightily during the recent home matchup, going 1-for-9 and scoring just six points.

“I didn’t have a good offensive game at all,” Porzingis said after practice Thursday.

Ever since the Celtics traded for Porzingis last summer, the star center carved out his niche on the team as a highly-reliable two-way player. His prowess lies in his ability to both protect the paint and capitalize on mismatches is what helped boost Boston to 64-18 in the regular season.
