New York Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis had another high scoring game Monday against Great Britain at EuroBasket 2017.
Kristaps Porzingis has been one of the best scorers in the entire EuroBasket tournament. After another dominant performance Monday against Great Britain, Porzingis has 73 points through three games. He’s third in the entire tournament.Latvia beat Great Britain 97-92 behind 28 points from the unicorn. The 7-foot-3 star was 11-of-17 from the field and 3-of-4 on three-point shots. Porzingis and Latvia move to 2-1 during EuroBasket and continue against Russia on Tuesday.
Porzingis’ star has gotten even bigger since the tournament began. He’s been the tournament’s best player. FIBA’s personal Twitter account even referred to him as a walking highlight reel.
Willy Hernangomez (Spain) is in action later today against Romania. Hernangomez’s squad has been the best in the tournament by a wide margin, and he’s been a big reason why.
The 23-year-old is the team’s leading rebounder, and he’s getting valuable minutes on a winning team. That’s a good thing for a guy who did a lot of losing last year and will keep losing next season.
