Knicks Face Do-Or-Die Clash in Indiana: Can They Defy the Odds and Surge Ahead?
That said, Towns is dominating the Pacers in this series. Simply put, Indiana doesn’t have the size to stop KAT. He is averaging 26.3 points on 68.0% true shooting (.521/.450/.870) and 11.3 rebounds with a +9 net rating. I took a flier on Towns winning the Larry Bird Trophy for Eastern Conference Finals MVP at +1300 pre-series because he owns the Pacers.Â
Furthermore, not only does KAT have to cover less space, but it’s much easier to play perimeter defense because guys know they can aggressively close out on 3-pointers when Robinson is protecting the basket. A couple of years ago, Mitch trained himself to block shots with both hands, which is rare and makes him a top-three defensive big.Â
