However, the Knicks made a valiant effort to increase that production against the Heat, which worked tremendously in their favor.
Despite trailing by six points at halftime, Towns began to pick things up in the second half, leading the Knicks to a comeback victory. The win helped build some trust between Towns and star point guard Jalen Brunson. "I think we did a good job of just feeding the hot hand. He was hot and we were just playing through him. He was making the right reads and when they doubled he either got fouled or he made the right play. We trust him. We trust him,"was able to flip a switch against the Heat doesn't mean it will be like this for good. However, it shows that the team's chemistry is growing and that it is possible for him to be the best player on the team when he needs to be.
Brunson, Towns and the Knicks are off tonight, but they will be back in action when the team visits the Detroit Pistons tomorrow at Little Caesars Arena.
