Goga Bitadze had knocked the Celtics big man to the floor, earning the Orlando forward a flagrant foul and Porzingis a gash over his left eye. But Porzingis looked defiant as he absorbed the scene surrounding him. A couple of stitches and a little blood were a small price to pay for the experience.

After a lengthy break following Game 1 on Easter Sunday, the Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics are back on the court Wednesday night.

Before their 17-point Game 1 win over the Magic, the Celtics already had one of their two star wings dealing with the impact of a bone bruise.
