Knicks Beat Dallas as the Garden Crowd Jeers Kristaps Porzingis

Porzingis finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds in his first game as a visitor at Madison Square Garden.

arcus Morris made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 13.2 seconds remaining to delight a Madison Square Garden crowd that booed Kristaps Porzingis all night, and the Knicks beat the Dallas Mavericks, 106-103, on Thursday.

Morris also knocked away a Mavericks inbounds pass with under a second left, helping the Knicks to just their third victory in 12 games this season.

Porzingis, who was traded from the Knicks to the Mavericks in January, finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds in his first game at Madison Square Garden as a visitor. His teammate Luka Doncic had 33 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for his fifth triple-double of the season.

Porzingis, whom the Knicks took with the No. 4 pick in the 2015 draft, developed into a fan favorite and then an All-Star in New York. But he soured on the Knicks, and the fans have clearly soured on him. They jeered him when the Mavs hit the floor for pregame warm-ups, then did so again during the national anthem. And again when Porzingis won the opening tip, plus whenever else he touched the ball in the early going.
