This might be one of Kristaps Porzingis’ best performances this year, not in terms of raw stats, but in terms of aesthetics.
For the linguistically challenged among us, “aesthetics” is a fancy term for when something looks good. Like that chick at Starbucks who you’re too much of a pussy to go talk to. An example phrase to describe her would be “she has nice butt aesthetics”.
Anyway, yeah, Kristaps made some really sweet-looking shots tonight. Nothing easy, as Zaza Pachulia once said. Just a bunch of jumpers, a circus shot, some floater things, and another jumper that was made more aesthetic by the addition of a crossover prior to it. All told, a high-quality performance, lessened only slightly by the Knicks not actually winning the game.
