Karl-Anthony Towns talks trash, thrives again Magic’s dynamic Wagner brothers
NY Post
Karl-Anthony Towns had a fun little game of KAT and mouse going back and forth with the Wagner brothers during Tuesday’s blowout win against the Magic.
Towns feistily jawed with the big-man duo of Franz and Mo Wagner throughout the first half of the Knicks’ 121-106 NBA Cup-advancing victory at the Garden.
The four-time All-Star finished with a team-high 23 points, 15 rebounds, two blocked shots and a plus-25 rating across 36 minutes.
“NBA Cup, bringing the best out of all of us,” Towns said with a smile. “Oh, I was dead-ass [serious]. Bringing the best. NBA Cup, win or go home, it was like a playoff game. …
“NBA Cup, we’re competitors. This is a high-level competition moment, and the game means a little more. So go out there and find a way to win.”
Towns already had a double-double (14 and 10) by halftime, including flying through the paint for a one-handed stuff off a feed from Jalen Brunson in the first quarter.
