New York Knicks superstar Kristaps Porzingis is absolutely blitzing the Denver Nuggets in the first half at Madison Square Garden.
I’ll tell you what: watching these New York Knicks work this Jeff Hornacek offense as a team is one basketball treat.
There is no black hole. Kristaps Porzingis is navigating through the paint as the low-to-high post-man while the other four players are playing supremely confident team ball.
It’s something we haven’t seen since the 1990’s.
After conquering LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday night on the road, the young Knickerbockers turned around quickly to welcome in the solid Denver Nuggets at Madison Square Garden.
Through one half of play, it’s no contest.
The new youthful and exciting Knicks hold a 65-43 lead with their guy, KP, doing things only a top three NBA player can pull off.
He finished the half with a ridiculous turnaround jumper over two defenders and then swatted a last moment shot (video above).
He has 22 points on 9-of-15 from the floor including four from downtown and three rebounds.
