Knicks back below .500 after blowing double-digit lead to Mavericks
NY Post
A small but vociferous group of Knicks fans arrived at the Garden armed with boos and derisive chants to direct at Kristaps Porzingis, but what they wanted more than anything Friday night was a victory over their former All-Star and his current team.
Even with Porzingis mostly mired in a rocky shooting night, the Knicks followed Wednesday’s crushing loss at Minnesota by flushing a double-digit lead for the second consecutive game in a 99-86 loss to the Mavericks. “The reaction was what I expected, of course,” said Porzingis, who punctuated Dallas’ win with a late baseline dunk. “They are a tough team and they played really good defense on me and on us, in general. Just overall a tough game, a grinding game, and it’s good to come up with a win against a tough team like the Knicks.”
