Is Karl-Anthony Towns the Knicks’ Golden Ticket—or Their Biggest Dilemma?

It doesn’t matter if Towns avoids foul trouble if he’s going to be on the bench anyway. Towns had an excellent Game 1 offensively with 35 points on 64.7% shooting from the field, but those numbers shrunk to 20 points on 42.9% from the field in Game 2. But his defense and the play of Robinson were the reasons he stayed on the bench as long as he did.

Robinson has been a force on the offensive glass in this series. The Knicks center has grabbed four offensive rebounds in each game and even that doesn’t do justice to how much he’s changed the games when he’s played. The Pacers are extremely wary of him crashing the glass and even dusted off center Tony Bradley in Game 2 to try to combat Robinson’s physicality.
