After a big performance in Wednesday's win against the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics forward Luke Kornet earns new nickname

He returned in the second quarter and continued to get roughed up throughout the game, constantly hitting the floor on drives to the basket.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis was replaced by backup Luke Kornet in the second half of Wednesday's Game 5 win over the New York Knicks, but the situation was more dire than it initially appeared.

Former New York Knicks center Luke Kornet prevented his former team from moving forward on the NBA playoff bracket.

But then there's backup big man Luke Kornet, whose modest numbers (6.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 blocks) belie his ability to soak up minutes in the middle respectably. What the Celtics have gotten from Kornet in a do-or-die Game 5 situation, though, has been jaw-dropping.
