Kristaps Porzingis was back at last night in the Knicks’ 111-109 road win over the Toronto Raptors. Late in the second quarter, he flew over THREE RAPTOR PLAYERS to deliver a vicious putback on a Carmelo Anthony miss. It’s getting to the point where we’ll start being disappointed if we don’t see this every game.

Kristaps Porzingis is gaining confidence before our eyes. The towering 7’3 rookie had his best game (13 pts, 14 rebs, 3 stls, 2 blks) tonight against the Spurs in a losing effort. He also delivered the best play of his young Knick career via this emphatic putback slam over LaMarcus Aldridge. I can’t remember ever seeing him this fired up.
