NBA Euro-watch: Giannis dominates the Knicks again

By George Efkarpides / info@eurohoops.net

There is something about Giannis and the Knicks. After a game-winner in MSG last year, and a game-winner at Milwaukee just a few days ago, the “Greek Freak” continued to “torch” the New York Knicks.

The Greek Freak got the crowd to rise with a mesmerizing dunk on Tim Hardaway Jr.

He finished with 23 points, 11 boards, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Enens Kanter had a big double-double (19 p. 16 r.) for the losing side but the bad news for New York was much bigger than just one loss.

Kristaps Porzingis suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season.

Dario Saric had 20 points and 7 boards as the 76ers ended the Wizards 5-game winning streak.

French big-man Ian Mahinmi had 13 points and 4 boards for the losing side.
