This was the Karl-Anthony Towns the Knicks have been waiting for this postseason. The one getting deeper post position to receive the ball and taking advantage of it. When he got the ball further out on the floor, he was in motion downhill to the rim.
“He bounced back,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said, via the Associated Press, referencing KAT’s rough Game 2. “He can score a lot of different ways and he used his versatility to his strength.”
This was the Clutch Player of the Year Jalen Brunson, scoring 12 of his 30 in the fourth quarter, making sure the Knicks didn’t blow their double-digit fourth quarter lead and hang on for the win.
