The New York Knicks are 6-7 overall, 5-2 at home, and 1-5 on the road. The latter number is rather disheartening, but the Knicks have been resurgent and resilient, winning three of their past four games.
One could argue that the driving force behind the Knicks’ recent stretch of success has been power forward Kristaps Porzingis.
During New York’s past three wins, Porzingis has averaged 26.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.0 3-point field goals made per game. Those are superstar numbers from a 21-year-old with an open mind to how he can improve.
According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, franchise player Carmelo Anthony is just as in awe of Porzingis as the rest of us.
