It wasn’t a typical “revenge game” at Madison Square Garden, but Bobby Portis was exactly the spark the New York Knicks needed. Staring down the barrel of a possible 0-4 start, Portis’ explosion in the second half brought the Knicks back from an 18-point deficit to secure the win, 105-98.
Chants of “Bob-by Por-tis” rained down at the Garden. It felt like Game 7 of the NBA Finals, but it was just an October meeting with the Chicago Bulls. Portis finished the game with 28 points, 11 of which came in the fourth quarter.
