Draymond Green Stunned by Karl-Anthony Towns’ Defensive Transformation

Now, such a comment coming in from one of the best defenders in the league is surely a huge thing for the 30-year-old Knicks’ star. Analyzing his game, the 6-time NBA All-Star is concentrating on making some important interceptions. He is also using his 7-foot frame to his advantage to make his opponents struggle. Undoubtedly, one of the biggest reasons for New York’s recent surge against the Cleveland Cavaliers is the 2016 NBA Rookie of the Year’s impressive defensive surge.

Meanwhile, with a lot of positives coming in, head coach Mike Brown, too, was all praises for Anthony Towns.

Mike Brown Impressed After Karl-Anthony Towns’ Game 3 Showing

The 30-year-old’s numbers might not look overly impressive. But his playmaking skills and basketball IQ are surely helping the Knicks get to a favorable point in the league. Playing for 36 minutes in Game 3, the 6-time NBA All-Star had zero turnovers against his name. He also chimed in with eight rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and 13 points from 36 minutes of action. 

Extending some significant words of praise, Brown said, “KAT, he was our hub offensively: seven assists, zero turnovers. He was really good for us offensively and defensively with three steals, but his ability to fire back in the pick-and-roll situation was really good.”

Now, with Game 4 approaching, the expectations for Anthony Towns will be to continue with his all-around play. And the Knicks fans will surely wait to see if the next game confirms their ticket to the NBA finals.
