The Knicks need to get Karl-Anthony Towns more touches
As New York heads to Detroit evened at one game apiece for Games 3 and 4 of their first-round playoff series against the No. 6-seeded Pistons, a troubling pattern has emerged for a stagnant offense: The lack of offensive opportunities for the Knicks’ All-Star center.
After scoring 23 points on 71.4 percent shooting in New York’s 123-112 victory in Game 1, Towns posted a quiet performance in Game 2’s loss: just 10 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field, including no shot attempts in the entire fourth quarter
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said after Monday’s loss Towns did a good job of not forcing the action against double teams in Game 2.
