Bobby Portis and Nikola Mirotic took a break from punching each other in the face tonight, instead focusing their fists on a new foe: the Boston Celtics. Together, united in hatred of a common enemy, they repeatedly rammed their fists into the testicles of the Celtics, with Portis scoring a career-high 23 and Mirotic scoring 24. Their efforts resulted in a 108-85 demolition of the “title contender” Celtics.
The bad blood between them hasn’t entirely simmered down: during one of the timeouts, Portis, who didn’t think the cameras were on and assumed no one was looking, climbed to the top of one of the backboards, jumped off, and body-slammed Mirotic like it was WrestleMania or something. I don’t know if anyone else saw it, but I totally did. Mirotic looked pissed, but he didn’t retaliate or anything, probably because they were coming back from timeout right then.
