Are you waking up late this Saturday morning, my fellow Knicks fan? Well, in that case...HOLY CRAP DO I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.
Kristaps Porzingis had a monster game in Latvia’s 92-64 group stage win over Belgium today. He scored 27 points without making a three pointer, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and a block. Also, no fouls!!!!

Because of time zones, I would like to start the #KPbeforedawn hashtag and use it for the remainder of EuroBasket.
Spain (Willy Hernangomez) also got a morning start and are dominating the poor Czech Republic, while Lithuania (Mindaugas Kuzminskas) won’t start their game against Israel until 2:30 PM EST.
Full roundup, forthcoming.
