Just as the Pacers were surging, threatening to get back into Sunday’s game against the Washington Wizards, center Kristaps Porzingis was there to slam the door shut — and make an entrance of his own.
Porzingis scored dramatic back-to-back baskets in the final possessions of the Wizards’ 133-123 win over the Indiana Pacers, marking a perfect cap to his Wizards debut.
With less than two minutes left, forward Deni Avdija found Porzingis for a fast-break alley-oop slam and after another Pacers basket, Porzingis answered with a two-handed dunk to put the game effectively out of reach.
