NBA Note - New York Knicks Porzingis, Kristaps

Oct 22, 2017 - 9:02 AM F Kristaps Porzingis led all scorers with 33 points on 11-of-20 shooting, but most of his damage was done in the first half. The 7-foot-3 forward made his first seven shots, 8 of 10 shots by halftime.

Porzingis missed all three of his attempts in the third quarter while playing 7:39. He then went 3 of 7 in the fourth quarter, missing a short jumper with 4:39 remaining, a 3-pointer with 2:53 remaining and a layup with 37 seconds left when it was blocked by Andre Drummond.

"He was just trying to be aggressive and be all over more," Porzingis said. "I should have done a better job when he's so into me, drive by him or be aggressive and get fouled."

Porzingis finished two shy of his career high set last November against Detroit and turned in his fifth career 30-point game.
