Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis: Records second double-double of the season Sunday

Porzingis scored 19 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and grabbed 11 boards across 31 minutes during Sunday's 104-94 win over the Hawks.

Analysis:

Porzingis added another solid performance to his sophomore campaign, recording his second double-double of the season. The 21-year-old has now finished first or second in scoring for the Knicks in eight of their last nine games, and is up to 20.2 points per game on the season after averaging 14.3 per game as a rookie. It looks like that increase could be sustainable, as point guard Derrick Rose has shown increased comfort with playing a facilitator's role of late, creating more opportunities for shots for Porzingis.
