Knicks Aim to Increase Karl-Anthony Towns' Late-Game Offensive Usage

Following a stagnant offensive performance in the Game 3 loss to the Spurs, the Knicks are prioritizing Karl-Anthony Towns' involvement in late-game situations. Coach Brown emphasized that Towns must be a focal point during critical stretches. Towns has struggled with usage, recording only 11 shots over the past five quarters, a period during which the team was outscored by 12 points. The staff is adjusting sets to ensure he is more active as the team seeks to regain momentum in the series.
