The Garden was electric on this night.
From Mindaugas Kuzminskas hitting a straightaway clutch 3-pointer to Derrick Rose running the show late, the New York Knicks did everything a winning team needs to do when looking to knock off a solid NBA squad. The final for this high-scoring, fun, energetic game turned out to be 107-103 after D-Rose sank a mid-range step back with a little over five seconds remaining.
Just as fans walked out of out the Mecca happy with their team’s effort, they all uttered the same name both silently and aloud with a gleeful smile full of giddiness: Kristaps Porzingis.
