Celtics Fans Give Luke Kornet Hilarious New Nickname

Luke Kornet came up huge for the Celtics in Game 5, and Boston fans rewarded the 29-year-old heading into Game 6 on Friday.

Kornet filled in for an ailing Kristaps Porzingis to help the C’s beat the New York Knicks 127-102 at TD Garden to keep his team’s season alive. The eighth-year center blocked a career-high seven shots, nearly recording a triple-double. The performance exemplified the depth of Joe Mazzulla’s side and how much the Celtics were willing to fight, a game after losing Jayson Tatum to an Achilles injury.
