Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis doesn't believe there is a distinct atmosphere when playing at Madison Square Garden, given that the Boston Celtics already play at the TD Garden.

While the Knicks faltered from there and missed the playoffs, Porzingis averaged 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game and finished second in NBA Rookie of the Year voting, behind only Karl-Anthony Towns, then of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"It's a great stage for basketball, just all the history between Boston and New York," Celtics forward Jaylen Brown said after the team's practice on Saturday.
