NEW YORK -- Standing at his locker after it was all over, Knicks All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns had a big smile on his face. It was an expression he could afford to have after his team managed to squeak past the Atlanta Hawks, 149-148, in overtime to win the NBA's highest-scoring -- and perhaps its wildest -- game of the season thus far.
"I would've needed a therapist if we'd come out of that with an L; I'm not gonna lie to you," said Towns, who finished with 44 points and 10 rebounds, but also had a turnover in the closing seconds of regulation that could have ultimately cost the Knicks the contest.
