The dominant Karl-Anthony Towns these Knicks have been waiting for finally appeared
NY Post
Mike Brown implored Karl-Anthony Towns to ignore the slump and keep shooting 3s. But the Knicks All-Star took a different approach to pummeling the Nets:
He won by doing pretty much everything else — by scoring efficiently inside, by driving, by playmaking, by posting up, by bullying Nic Claxton.
And in the end, he buried a few treys. A complete performance.
“Shooters shoot, of course. I know everybody wants me to shoot the 3-ball. But I’m a more complete player than that,” Towns said. “And a lot of times, my career shooting the 3 allows me to get to the basket and opens the game up for myself and my teammates. And tonight was a good night where attacking the paint, getting some layups, tough layups, whatever the case may be, opened the basket up for me and made the 3-ball much easier.”

SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.
The discourse has gone on for two seasons now. But it doesn’t exactly match reality.
Where were the grownups for Team USA?
The Rangers reconvened after the Olympic stoppage wanting to find some successful combinations that had been largely absent through much of a disappointing last-place season.
SALT LAKE CITY — There was no sugarcoating an ugly first-half performance from the Knicks in the locker room, and the harsh words during the break helped spur a comeback in Wednesday’s 134-117 victory over the Jazz.
Team USA’s fate is out of its hands.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Jasson Domínguez’s first-inning at-bat against Tanner Banks on Tuesday featured a different result and a different swing than “The Martian” had been accustomed to against lefty pitching.
