Even though the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers haven’t had much success in recent years, they are still two the two most valuable teams in the NBA in terms of net worth.
Understandably so, their Wednesday night showdown was a prime time matchup and Kristaps Porzingis gave NBA fans a night to remember.
It was a hard fought game that the Knicks managed to win 113-109 on overtime.
Enes Kanter had a double-double 14 points and 11 rebounds in a win.
Jose Claderon had a season high 14 points to go with a rebound and 4 assists in a 123-114 win over the Atlanta Hawks. Cedi Osman chipped in with 7 points and 2 boards while Ante Zizic 2 points and 2 rebounds.
For the losing side, Dennis Schroder had 14 points, one rebound and 5 assists for the losing side.
