(Carmelo) Anthony has been scrimmaging with (Kristaps) Porzingis since August and knew he had it in him to be a shot-blocking extraordinaire, but wasn’t sure when that would manifest.

“Man, he’s 7-3,’’ Anthony said. “There was only concern because people didn’t know and nobody ever saw him before. People were all so upset the Knicks drafted him. When you’re 7-3, you just put your hands up and block a shot. For him to have seven blocks, it didn’t surprise me. [But] nobody expected [24] and 14, seven blocks. Nobody expected that, but I’ll take it.’’
