I’d say the Lakers didn’t have any answers for Kristaps Porzingis Tuesday night, but no team has an answer for Kristaps Porzingis when he is on.
And he was on vs. the Lakers: 37 points, 11 rebounds, and five blocked shots. He also hit five triples (on just eight attempts). Check out the video above.
Kristaps Porzingis is the first Knick with at least 35 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks in a game since Patrick Ewing in 1996. Patrick never hit 5 threes in one of those games though. Per @TommyBeer, Porzingis is the first player in NBA history to have that combination w/5 3PM.

Despite all that it took overtime against an improving Lakers team to get the win for the Knicks.
