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

Siakam misses this 3-point attempt, but it’s a simple relocation to get a wide-open look. Robinson has to fight his instincts and pay more attention to someone as talented as Siakam on the perimeter.

The communication for the Knicks defense was off all game as the Pacers’ constant movement had them in flux.

That just isn’t good enough at this stage of the season. The miscommunication is among all of Cam Payne, Towns and Robinson. Towns starts to crash toward the paint with two defenders already there corralling Turner, Payne panics and runs out to Ben Sheppard even though it’s pretty clear Towns has already turned to correct his initial mistake and Robinson has both of them in his line of sight, bailing to the same player but choosing to run to Siakam on the wing instead of staying with Turner right at the basket.
