Kristaps Porzingis busts through slump in pounding Nets
Kristaps Porzingis played his most efficient game of 2018 and the Knicks continued to have the Nets’ number.
In starting out their seven-game road trip with a bang, the slumping Knicks manhandled the Nets, 119-104, in a Martin Luther King Day matinee at Barclays Center. Porzingis poured in 26 points in 27 minutes to go with nine rebounds as the Knicks moved to 3-0 against the Nets this year.
In a shooting slump since the start of December, Porzingis shot 8-of-14 from the field as Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek made an adjustment in reducing his minutes ever so slightly on the second leg of a back-to-back.
