New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns is having a very rough start to the road trip. The shooting woes have continued, and his defense continues to cause problems inside the paint.
Knicks’ Karl-Anthony Towns is having a rough stretch
Against the Orlando Magic, Towns shot just 2-for-6 from beyond the arc. Since scoring 39 points against the Miami Heat last Friday, he is shooting just 4-for-19 from outside the arc, a concerning trend for the big man who is known to be a lethal shooter.
Furthermore, the defensive lapses continue to be an issue. The Knicks allowed 64 points in the paint to the Magic on Saturday, with Towns and Mitchell Robinson providing no resistance down low whatsoever.
The Knicks need Towns to get going more than ever. With OG Anunoby out for the foreseeable future
