Kornet mustered 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes in Saturday's 124-114 road win over the Nets.
Kornet took advantage of a Nets squad that chose to play small ball almost the entire game due to center Nic Claxton (ankle) being out. Kornet can thank Jrue Holiday and others for some sweet inside passes off pick-and-rolls, which helped the reserve center shoot a perfect 5-for-5 from the field. Kornet was the only Celtics reserve player with a positive (plus-7) point differential. He could see significant minutes but face a much better interior defense on the road Monday versus Minnesota and its impressive frontcourt.
