Banged-up Knicks duo can’t be expected to do it alone

The Garden night had begun splendidly, with “KP Sucks’’ chants from Knicks fans clearly rattling Kristaps Porzingis into a 2-for-10 first half.

Before heading to the locker room, the 7-foot-3 Latvian picked up a technical for badgering the referee. To boot, for the first time since the preseason opener, rookie Obi Toppin looked worthy of the No. 8 pick. In seven startling minutes, Toppin racked up nine points. He went 4-for-5, with buckets on athletic, powerful drives, capped by him rising above Porzingis for a lefty putback slam.
