The dominant Karl-Anthony Towns these Knicks have been waiting for finally appeared

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.”
