“I told you about the word ‘history’ I’m not here to repeat it. We’re here to make it.” Despite going down 2-0 in the East Finals, Karl-Anthony Towns was not bothered by the mere 7.3% success rate of teams winning a series from this deficit. He proved it on Sunday by leading the Knicks to a miraculous Game 3 victory with his twenty-point fourth quarter performance. Unfortunately, KAT was unable to continue that form tonight, as he witnessed his team lose yet another game to the Pacers. Even worse, the big man suffered an unfortunate injury scare, putting his availability in question for Thursday’s crucial encounter.
It happened in the closing minutes of the final quarter when Towns collided with a driving Aaron Nesmith. Turns out, the Knicks Center’s knee took the brunt of the impact, as he immediately began grimacing in pain favoring his knee. Although he was able to continue playing, the injury was clearly bothering him as he limped for remainder of the game. However, when asked about it after the game, Towns was more worried about the loss than his hurting knee.
“I’m only thinking about the loss. I’m not thinking about that (injury) right now. Disappointing when you don’t get a win. Just didn’t do enough to get the job done tonight.” He remarked.
