VIDEO: Rockets' Ariza soars over 2 Knicks, mops up Capela's missed free throw

Kristaps Porzingis may be the "PorzingGod" of Madison Square Garden, but Sunday night against the Houston Rockets, the 7-foot-3 New York Knicks rookie was rendered powerless by swingman Trevor Ariza.

Forward Lance Thomas - who got the start for New York in place of All-Star Carmelo Anthony - was also ineffective against a soaring Ariza, who leaped high above the Knicks to throw down a vicious one-handed jam off a missed free throw by Swiss big man Clint Capela early in the first quarter.
