They came out of 2015 draft class each with a similar skill set and now face each other in an Eastern Conference semi.

Among the most marquee individual matchups will be between their starting centers, Kristaps Porzingis and Karl-Anthony Towns. Both are stretch bigs who entered the NBA at the same time in 2015.

Towns attempted zero 3-point shots in both the fourth quarter and overtime. And despite turning in a 34-point performance, shooting 14-21 from the field, Porzingis’ 34 points just cut deeper.
