Luke Kornet

With a rout of the Charlotte Hornets fully on, Luke Kornet could not hide his excitement. The Boston Celtics reserve center — who played in a career-high 69 games in his sixth NBA season — got in on the action in a loud way when his team forced a turnover in the defensive end, allowing Kornet to run the floor with Marcus Smart in a 2-on-1 fast break. Smart lobbed an alley-oop to his teammate, who finished the job with an emphatic slam before gesturing to the home crowd in celebration. Kornet made all four of his shots in an 18-minute run off the bench, posting nine points and eight rebounds in a runaway 140-105 victory on November 28, 2022.
