Kristaps Porzingis has been dominating since the start of the season. While the Pistons were visiting the Knicks, Porzingis went off and scored 35-points on the night.
The Knicks have had a few games in which they start out badly or its about a 2-point difference. In regards to last night’s game, it was most definitely a close one considering the fact that the final score was 105-102, in favor of the Knicks. The star during last night’s show was none other than Kristaps Porzingis. He’s evolved into such a terrific rim protector and now, he’s just piling on the points as he finished with 35 points. His fellow teammates were even in awe as they reacted to his stats in the post-game.
If you want to know what the rest of the NBA thinks about Kristaps Porzingis‘ performance on Wednesday, listen to Derrick Rose.
“It’s kind of crazy,” Rose said. “… He’s going out here scoring 30, and he really don’t know the NBA yet. That’s scary.”
If you’re paying attention to the standings, which I know you are, the Knicks are closing in on .500.
Both Anthony and Rose seem all too happy to share the ball — and the spotlight.
“When he has it going, we want to go through that,” said Anthony, who called Porzingis’ performance on Wednesday “brilliant.”
“I appreciate when he do have it going, then I can just kind of pick my spots on the court through the course of the game.”
Porzingis is such a key factor to this team. The energy he brings cannot be duplicated.
“He’s a great kid, and you want to see good people succeed,” Noah said. “He really deserves all of it, and the sky’s the limit for him.”
