CLEVELAND – Karl-Anthony Towns was not exactly in the flow.
He had only taken one shot in the fourth quarter, and hadn't made a shot since late in the third, by the time the ball came to him at the top of the key with the clock ticking down on a tie game Monday night.
No hesitation.
Indeed, no question he wanted the ball. In fact, listening to him, he had been waiting for this moment.
Towns' three-pointer from just left of the top of the key, after a pick-and-roll with D'Angelo Russell, rattled home with 12.
