Kristaps Porzingis gets posterized by Dwight Howard!
Sunday, the Houston Rockets were big apple bound for an inter-conference match-up against the New York Knicks. Without their star player, Carmelo Anthony, who was out with an illness, Arron Afflalo and Kristaps Porzingis led the way on the scoring end for NY.
They were even up double digits mid-way through the fourth quarter, however, Marcus Thornton inspired the Rockets to go on amazing run and overcome a 14-point deficit.
With the game finally tied and overtime imminent, Dwight Howard would formally welcome the stand-out rookie to the league, with an insane posterization. This one hurt the fans of Madison Square Garden than it did Porzingis – judging by their reactions.
Take a look at the highlight above.
