But that fan angst turned into an ovation when Towns was subbed out for the final time in the fourth quarter, having finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds despite the wayward jumper.The center got to the foul line — knocking down 10 of 11 from there — and flashed his playmaking with a post-up hook shot, a backdoor pass to Jalen Brunson and an assortment of other moves with the ball.
“He started off maybe pressing a little bit, first time here,” Tom Thibodeau said. “I like the looks that he got. Just be patient. At the end of the day, it’ll work itself out. And it did. He stayed with it. He was not deterred. I thought he went to a little more playmaking and that led to more easy baskets. … He got going to the basket. He got to the line. He got a couple layups. He’s a very gifted scorer. He can score a lot of different ways. He can score at the 3-point line.
