Karl-Anthony Towns has long been a polarizing player in the league and with a trade to the Knicks in the offseason he has shown both positive and negative impact.

What Towns did might have been overlooked, and it prompted Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau to deadpan when it was listed for him, “Should have been more.” Consider what he did accomplish on this night. He was listed as questionable with a left calf contusion and didn’t make the call to play until little more than an hour before game time.
