Kristaps Porzingis can block negativity as well as he can block guys at the rim.
The Knicks' young star closed down his postgame on-court interview Tuesday after being asked by MSG reporter Rebecca Haarlow whether his team ever feels as though it can't come back in a game. New York had just rallied for a 118-113 win over the Hornets after trailing by 15 in the second half and nine midway through the fourth quarter. They also came back to beat the Pacers on Sunday.

Bonus points to Porzingis for doing it with a twinkle in his eye rather than any sign of annoyance.
