In a thrilling Game 3, Jalen Brunson praised Karl-Anthony Towns for his outstanding performance, scoring 20 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Knicks to victory. Brunson acknowledged the need for Towns to be more involved throughout games. Although the Knicks improved their defense on Pascal Siakam, keeping him to just 17 points after a 39-point outing in the previous game, the focus remains on how to better utilize Towns's skills earlier in games. Brunson highlighted that in-game adjustments are vital to achieving this.
The challenge for the Knicks is to get that aggressive, take-charge Towns more often. Too frequently, he isn't involved enough in the offense.
Jalen Brunson observed Towns's remarkable performance, stating, "I saw a guy go out there who did not want to lose, and so the way he just went out there and basically got that game for us was remarkable."
Brunson noted that adjustments during the game are crucial, saying, "There's always gonna be a lot of things that'll happen throughout a game, and so you can say yeah we can implement a plan to where he doesn't have to wait until the fourth quarter."
OG Anunoby remarked on defending Pascal Siakam better, indicating, "Just after that Game 2, just trying to make it as difficult as possible."
