Defensive effort was strong in the first half...rotated well and made Denver shoot tough shots. Granted, they didn't have Millsap, but that detracts not at all from effort.
The Knicks are playing decently...can't hurt that the stink of Phil Jackson and Carmelo Anthony drama is gone.
I have to imagine Porzingas will be a tough guy for us to match up with. But if we put in defensive effort like last night we should be good against anybody.
