Troubling Karl-Anthony Towns trend has emerged for Knicks
NY Post
For as talented a scorer he is, one Karl-Anthony Towns tendency is constantly ruining offensive possessions.
He fouled out in the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ 115-104 loss to the Timberwolves on Tuesday night in Minnesota.
Foul trouble has emerged as a problem for Towns, and is forcing coach Mike Brown to take him out of games.
And it’s not as if these fouls are coming as the result of protecting the rim and forcing opponents to earn their points at the free throw line.
Over 30 percent of them have been offensive fouls, resulting in Knicks turnovers. Towns has recorded 30 offensive fouls this year — most in the NBA, and six more than the next-highest.
Three of his six fouls on Tuesday were offensive — that’s three possessions that resulted in zero points because of avoidable mistakes.
