Yesterday afternoon inside Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 95-87.
The matchup everyone wanted to see was Kristaps Porzingis versus Anthony Davis.
Davis clearly won the individual battle, as he totaled 36 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, while the rookie sensation finished with only 10 points and 4 rebounds. However, Davis was very impressed with what he saw from the rookie.
“Porzingis is a great player. He can shoot, he can drive and he is active,” the Pelicans forward said. “It is going to be fun battling him.”\
That’s very high praise right there.
