Do your best! The Knicks inside general still creates a lot of threats despite being injured?

In a previous NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals G4, the Indiana Pacers, who played at home, defeated the New York Knicks 130-121. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 3-1 and successfully won the match point; while the Knicks were in huge trouble, they were already stepping on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

In this game, Knicks' starting power forward Karl-Anthony Towns also tried his best. Towns played 37 minutes and 03 seconds in the game, made 8 of 15 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 7 of 9 free throws, and scored a double-double with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, including 3 frontcourt rebounds, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +3. Although Towns seems a little unsatisfactory on the defensive end, he has performed his due level on the offensive end. He has also won a large number of points through various methods, providing sufficient support and help to the team. It seems that the opponent cannot effectively limit his strong attack, and he also has certain passing ability and support ability. Under the turmoil of injuries, it is already quite good that Towns was able to perform like this, and the team's situation was also good when Towns was on the court. Unfortunately, the team's overall performance was also a little worse, and he was unable to help the team turn the situation around.

In the NBA regular season this season, Towns played a total of 72 games in 82 games, averaging 35 minutes per game, averaging 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.7 blocks, and 2.7 turnovers and 3.5 fouls. He shot 52.6%, three-point shooting percentage 42%, and free throw shooting percentage 82.9%. In the playoffs, Towns averaged 35.3 minutes in the first 16 games, with averaging 21.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 4.3 fouls. He shot 49.2%, three-point shooting percentage 37.9%, and 89% free throw shooting percentage.

Downs' overall performance during the playoffs was quite good. He also showed good scoring ability. He was able to provide a lot of help and support to the team on the offensive end. However, Towns' performance on the defensive end has always been relatively average, and he has not shown his due personal defensive ability. Towns also had a good effect on the court, but because he is indeed a player with distinctive functions, it is indeed difficult for him to perform better in this situation. For the Knicks, all they need to do is find ways to further play Towns' talent offensively and avoid his disadvantage on the defensive end being amplified. Otherwise, it may still be difficult for them to come back to life in this series.
