Towns Debuts, McBride Scores as Knicks Win Preseason Opener

So far, so good in the New York Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns era.

Towns made his unofficial debut in a Knick uniform on Sunday evening, which saw the Knicks sting the Charlotte Hornets by a 111-109 final at Spectrum Center. The former Minnesota Timberwolf grouped 10 points with four rebounds and two steals in first 16 minutes in blue and orange while Miles McBride stole the show with 22 points in relief.

The Knicks (1-0) showcased their projected starting lineup for a majority of the first half, as Towns and Jalen Brunson played 15 minutes each before taking in the latter 24 from the bench.
