Looking back at the Celtics win over the Pacers, Kristaps Porzingis didn't get enough credit for his impact on the Celtics by opening up driving lanes for his teammates. Plus, John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm have more love for Derrick White, more on Joe Mazzulla's mentality, and then a look at what turned out to be a pretty damned good month of January.
