The Boston Celtics currently hold a 5-2 record, slotting them into an early-season tie with the Milwaukee Bucks for second in the Eastern Conference standings. As captured by CLNS Media, Kristaps Porzingis believes that his chemistry with teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will improve as the season progresses.

“It’s gonna take time,” said Porzingis. “But honestly we do have a lot of good moments, a lot of good moments where we find each other, where we hit each other with some good passes and start to reach each other more and more.”

Porzingis praised his teammates for their selflessness on the court.

“It’s early, beginning of the season,” said Porzingis. “It's honestly easy to play with those guys, very selfless. Now being up close I really feel that and see that from them. So, they just want to win. They want to do the right thing, and that makes it easy for everybody.”

The Celtics’ next game is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 10, against the Brooklyn Nets at TD Garden. This will be their first group-stage match of the NBA’s inaugural in-season tournament.
