He landed around 8 a.m. before the 6 p.m. tip-off against the Sixers, caught some sleep and played 8:55 in the fourth quarter as the Celtics cut 15 points off the 76ers\u2019 26-point advantage before winning, 118-110.<\/p>\n<p id=\"z4L3Au\">\u201cI was able to get in and sleep for a couple hours, and also my body felt good,\u201d Kornet told <em>CLNS Media\/CelticsBlog <\/em>in Cleveland. \u201cIt felt like one of those days where emotionally, you\u2019re not really there.\u00a0But I felt good physically and, obviously, just being able to get the win and especially in the comeback that we did.\u00a0I was glad to be able to be back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Celtics Don&#039;t NEED Home Court to Beat Cavs in Playoffs | Postgame Reaction\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EsbpWoT7DOE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p id=\"R3ehCj\">Former Oklahoma and UCLA basketball player Nicole Kornet, Luke\u2019s older sister, married Joey Gerber, a pitcher with the Rays organization. Luke planned to attend in advance, knowing he could do so despite the small window. He said being there was more important than basketball.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1EuTt3\">On the floor in recent weeks, Kornet has thrived and taken over the Celtics\u2019 depth center role and even closed over <strong>Al Horford<\/strong> to begin the fourth on Sunday. Since Jan. 1, he leads Boston in +\/- and ranks tied 19th in the NBA at +109 with <strong>Evan Mobley<\/strong>. The bench minutes swung the Celtics\u2019 third game against the Cavs, Kornet posting four points, three offensive rebounds, three assists and one steal while making both shot attempts. He\u2019s averaging 10.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 blocks per 36 minutes, shooting 64.8% from the field.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Lf3gyE\">\u201cHis physicality has been top-notch,\u201d <strong>Joe Mazzulla<\/strong> said in Cleveland. \u201cHis ability to protect the rim on defense, he had some great possessions on Mobley, and offensively, he just does a great job versus the different coverages, screening, getting guys open and his offensive rebounds, he\u2019s been elite for us lately.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Look at this! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kjtmbaRji1\">pic.twitter.com\/kjtmbaRji1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bobby Manning (@RealBobManning) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealBobManning\/status\/1886966228494786608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 5, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"StQ4Jr\">Kornet entered Thursday as safe as anyone in his fifth consecutive season with the Celtics. His decision to stay on a one-year contract that retained his Bird rights allowed him a no-trade clause. He told <em>CLNS\/CelticsBlog <\/em>earlier this season that he had other options in free agency, but decided to stay with Boston due to his strong bond with teammates and ability for the Celtics to win.<\/p>\n<p id=\"jbkKmN\">His play, continuing to ascend, separated him from a push by<strong> Neemias Queta<\/strong> in the front court earlier this season. Mazzulla has continued to utilize double-big lineups, playing Horford and Kornet together in Tuesday\u2019s bench units against the Cavs. Two days earlier, he saw value in Kornet as a single big who allowed<strong> Sam Hauser<\/strong> space on the perimeter. Teammates have praised his levity in the room while Kornet was surprised to hear how his impact has resonated in the +\/- category.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Yu396B\">\u201cI feel like it\u2019s been a pretty good, consistent span of basketball, he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been more of a full strength and have a lot of rapport with <strong>Payton (Pritchard)<\/strong> and Sam and Al and a lot of times J.T. or J.B. with (the second unit). So I feel like I\u2019m just coming in and the competitiveness of that group has been\u00a0great &#8230; I wanted to challenge myself and\u00a0continue growing and being steady and reliable, especially offensively, rebounding, and defensively, trying to put myself in more uncomfortable situations, trying to guard and be more up-and-down on the floor and embracing the individual challenge &#8230; coming off the championship run just trying to find a new level for myself and I think I\u2019ve done that to a certain extent, but I also think I can still continue to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLEVELAND \u2014 The Celtics used the off day between Jayson Tatum\u2019s game-winning shot at New Orleans and one of their largest comeback wins of the last two decades at Philadelphia to travel between the two cities.
