Despite finishing with 21 points and eight boards, Kristaps Porzingis said he didn’t feel quite like his usual self during Sunday night’s 115-111 loss to Cleveland.
The 7-foot-2 center made three steals, but did not have any blocks. Just one of his rebounds came on the offensive end. He played 32 minutes, which is the most he has logged since returning from offseason ankle surgery last Monday.
Porzingis said there were “many things” he could learn from his first look at extended action this season.
“I just felt a step slow tonight and that’s on me,” Porzingis said.
