After the Magic’s Paolo Banchero missed a jumper with less than a minute to go in the third quarter of the Celtics’ 109-100 Game 2 win in Boston, Porzingis took an inadvertent elbow to the noggin from Goga Bitadze as the two vied for the loose ball.

Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis went to the locker room with a gash on his forehead but returned to shoot a pair of free throws and to the game after taking an elbow from Goga Bitadze of the Magic.
