2. Kristaps Porzingis

The kid had another big night, this time against the NBA's other premier rookie: Karl-Anthony Towns. Porzingis dropped 11 points and finished with seven blocks. The Knicks beat the Timberwolves, 107-102.

3. Bartolo Colon

He's back with the Mets on a brand new contract. Baseball is better when he's part of the game.

Three Down:

1. Nets

3. Barclays Center Security

An arena security guard reportedly threw punches at a fan who was trying to take a picture of a video-board tribute to a deceased family member that had been paid for by that family. Not cool.
