Kristaps Porzingis fills up stat sheet in way Dirk Nowitzki can’t

Kristaps Porzingis grimaces after jamming his finger, but it didn't stop him from recording a 24-point, 14-rebound and seven-block night, an outing Dirk Nowitzki (inset) even would be impressed with

HOUSTON — Kristaps Porzingis didn’t have a Dirk Nowitzki-like game in Oklahoma City on Friday, but Saturday against the Rockets he put together a more complete game than the German superstar.

Before his 24-point, 14-rebound, seven-block domination of the Rockets, Porzingis said he’s trying to add Nowitzki’s patented fadeaway, one-legged jumper.

Sure enough, he tried the Euro step Saturday, but missed badly.
