Kristaps Porzingis Struggles To Find The Mark In Toronto

Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis' impressive double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds -- with three three-pointers and three blocks -- wasn't enough to offset his 5-for-15 shooting performance in allowing the Raptors to come back from a 30-point deficit.
