During the New York Knicks first-round victory over the Detroit Pistons, Karl-Anthony Towns didn’t always see his normal number of shots. While the Knicks know they’ll need more from Towns to beat the Boston Celtics, neither the Knicks center nor head coach Tom Thibodeau are worried about usage.
“I’m about winning, so as long as we’re winning, it’s fine,” Towns said. “All I know is as long as we win, we good.”
Thibodeau echoed Towns’ comments by saying he’s only concerned with his All-Star making the right plays.
“When there’s a second or third defender coming in, I don’t want him to try to shoot over three people. I want him to make a pass,” Thibodeau said of Towns. “If he does that, he’s helping his team. That’s probably the biggest thing. I thought KAT played a terrific Game 6, if you look at the rebounding and the defensive plays he made at the end of that game. That was huge for us. Huge.”
