The New York Knicks handled business on Monday night, cruising past the Washington Wizards 119-102 at Madison Square Garden. The win keeps New York undefeated at home and moves their record to 4-3 – but the real story was Karl-Anthony Towns.
The Knicks’ star center delivered a statement performance: 33 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists, powering the team to their second straight victory after beating the Bulls.
That outing also earned Towns a spot in the record books. According to StatMuse, KAT has now passed Luka Doncic for seventh among active players in games with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds or assists – a testament to his rare combination of skill and versatility.
It’s been a timely resurgence for Towns, who had struggled early in the season, shooting below 40% from the field. But under coach Mike Brown, the Knicks seem to be finding balance and identity, while Towns looks increasingly comfortable as the offensive anchor.
If this version of KAT holds, New York’s ceiling suddenly looks a lot higher – and so does his place among the league’s elite big men.
