With his ability to score in different ways, including from shots from the perimeter and beyond the arc, many have forgotten how New York Knicks big man Kristaps Porzingis also excels at finishing strong to the basket. He reminded the Chicago Bulls about it on Wednesday, especially Robin Lopez who met him at the rim.

During the first quarter of action, the 7-foot-Latvian international received the ball near the free-throw line off a pass from Jarrett Jack. He quickly made his move towards the basket by completing a spin move, before throwing down a vicious dunk over the Bulls center who was left helpless and now part of Porzingis’ poster.

Porzingis impressive move electrified the home fans inside Madison Square Garden who gave him a huge applause. His teammates also couldn’t help but all stand up and as they were amazed with the move he pulled off over a legitimate 7-footer, and a very decent defender as well.

The Knicks are looking to win their second straight game which will move them closer to the top eight of the Eastern Conference. Porzingis is obviously doing his best to fire up his teammates and he hopes his highlight reel worthy play could inspire the rest of the team to play even better on the night.

The Bulls on the other hand have lost five of their last six games and are hoping they’ll be able to snap their current two-game losing streak to improve their record and make it more respectable.
