Knicks’ Karl-Anthony Towns ‘disappointed’ in himself despite big night
NY Post
Karl-Anthony Towns managed his highest scoring output of the season Wednesday night, but he remained on the court long after the Knicks’ last-second loss to the Bulls working on his game.
Towns pumped in a season-high 46 points, but he missed two key free throws in the fourth quarter in a game the Knicks overcame a 22-point hole in the second half before falling 124-123 to the Bulls.
Towns was seen on the Garden floor, shooting around 35-40 free throws long after the final buzzer sounded.
“Not a lot, but I was disappointed in that display of free-throw shooting by me,” Towns said after the game. “I expect to make them all. When you look back at the game, especially when you don’t come out with a win in a tough game like this, you look at everything that you could have done in the mirror.
“If I make a few of those free throws, at least two or three of them, you put your team in a different position.”
Towns, an 83.9 percent free-throw shooter for his career, missed four of eight in the game, including a pair with 5:56 left in the fourth quarter and the Knicks trailing by one.

DETROIT — In his first media interview about the Knicks in almost three years, James Dolan explained he fired Tom Thibodeau because, among other reasons, the coach was averse to collaboration. The owner also shot down a potential trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo and declared this season as Finals or failure.
