Porzingis’ heroics lifts Knicks past Pacers, 101-108

Kristaps Porzingis scored 24 of his total 40 points in the last 13 minutes of the game as the New York Knicks rallied from a 19 point deficit to steal the win against the Indiana Pacers, 101-108.

Besides the career-high 40 points, Porzingis also added 8 rebounds and 6 blocks in probably the most stunning win of the season.

I just think we’re playing with a New York mentality.
