After a spectacular performance where Karl-Anthony Towns scored a season-high 46 points, he was seen diligently practicing his free throws at Madison Square Garden following the Knicks’ disappointing 124-123 loss to the Bulls. Despite his impressive display on the court, Towns missed four out of eight free throws during the game, prompting him to stay behind and work on his shooting technique.
During the postgame show, MSG reporter Monica McNutt observed Towns, accompanied by a Knicks staffer, honing his free-throw skills while arena workers were tidying up and a security guard watched over. Towns, who also contributed three assists and three steals in the game, expressed his disappointment at missing crucial free throws, acknowledging that those points could have made a difference in the outcome.
His dedication to improving his game even after such a standout performance did not go unnoticed by Knicks fans, who took to social media to praise Towns for his commitment to the team. Many fans appreciated his work ethic and determination to continuously strive for excellence, especially in a tough loss like the one against the Bulls.
With an average of 24.5 points per game and a shooting percentage of 52.4% this season, Towns has proven to be a valuable asset to the Knicks. As the team prepares to face the Nets in their upcoming game, Towns’ relentless drive to enhance his skills serves as a testament to his leadership and passion for the game. His actions on and off the court exemplify the qualities of a true superstar, earning him respect and admiration from fans and teammates alike.
