Porzingis becomes 1st player in Knicks history to score 300 points through first 10 RS games

Per ESPN, No Knicks player has ever started a season like Kristaps Porzingis.

He won't celebrate now, since he only cares about the finish.

Porzingis scored 28 points, including a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:48 remaining, and New York beat the Charlotte Hornets 118-113 on Tuesday night for its third straight victory.

The Eastern Conference player of the week was held below 30 for only the third time in 10 games this season, but he delivered when it mattered, scoring seven points in the final 2:32.

That gave him 300 points through 10 games, two more than Bernard King had to open 1984-85.

"The sweetest thing for us, the best thing for us, would be to make the playoffs. This means nothing," Porzingis said. "If we can keep winning and I'll keep doing what I have to do, then the real reward will come."
