Hitting rock bottom last week in Milwaukee, with failed performance both in substance and in form, Karl-Anthony Towns could only come to the surface. He managed to find color in two matches against the Bulls and even more against the weak Wizards.
With 33 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists in New York’s winthe Knicks interior had its best game of the season. “KAT was monstrous. He was huge on the rebound, very good on defense, monstrous inside and out”, chains Mike Brown. “He’s finding his groove in what we’re trying to do.”
Karl-Anthony Towns won the duel against Alexander Saar, symbolized by his poster on the Frenchman in the second quarter and numerous baskets near the circle.
“We had sequences where we didn’t score. That’s what All-Stars do: They carry the offense and he was very good at that.”continues his coach. “When we move him, opposing teams can’t defend against him. There’s still a lot of room for improvement for him, for me and for the team to put him in other positions. Every game and every practice he’s getting more comfortable.”
With an average of 25 points, 40% success on 3 points, for three matches, we find “KAT” more in line with his usual level, his standards. The former Minnesota player follows the trend, even embodies it, of his team, much better in Madison Square Garden than on the road.
“I just saw opportunities to get shots and be aggressive. I wanted to take advantage of these opportunities. Jalen Brunson gets a lot of attention and I took advantage of what the defense gave me.”
