Saturday night the New York Knicks played without rookie sensation Kristaps Porzingis, who is suffering from a lower left leg contusion. X-rays were taken on the lower left leg, coming back negative per Knicks public relations. So everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.
Derrick Williams stepped into the starting lineup, but was relatively unimpactful. Who was impactful though was Arron Afflalo and Robin Lopez! The two combined to score the first 17 points for New York, it wasn’t until the two minute mark of the first quarter that another Knick finally scored.
