How did Karl-Anthony Towns save the Knicks' season?
Good morning, sweet world, and welcome to the No Dunks podcast presented by Amazon Prime. It's Monday, May 26th, 2025. I'm J.E. Skeets here in the Classic Factory, and alongside me, as always, Tass Mellis.
I'm Tass Mellis, and I'm glad I'm not a Knicks fan.
Next to him, it's the bearded one, my top shot hot boy, Trey Kirby. Ayo! And last but not least, over yonder, making the magic happen, Super Producer JD.
Hello.
There he is. Here we are on today's show. We're going to take a look at the All-NBA teams that were announced late last week. We'll tee up tonight's Big Game 4 in Minnesota between the Thunder and Wolves. But first, the New York Knicks remain alive. Tass Mellis in the Eastern Conference Finals. Carl Anthony Towns. Say his full name. Scored 20 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter as the Knicks came back from 20 points down to beat the Pacers 106-100 in Game 3 on Sunday. He saved their season. Carl Anthony Towns.
He 100% saved their season. Saved the day. Coming into the fourth quarter, Carl Anthony Towns had four points on two of eight field goal shooting. It was looking like things could go poorly. You know, Jalen Brunson was in foul trouble. He would come back in the fourth quarter, pick up his fifth in this one as well. But in the fourth. Cat went off 20 points, 8 rebounds, 3 threes, and an assist. He was aggressive looking for his threes. One came off an offensive rebound. One came off a screen. One came him handling the ball in a pick and roll, popping over the top. That's the three kinds of three-pointers there are. He was driving. He started the fourth quarter with that three-pointer off the offensive rebound. Then he catches the ball in the corner with Turner on him.
Reggie thought he was going to shoot a three. Couple of jab steps, couple of jab steps. Really hard drive into Turner's body. Drop steps him. Finishes over the top. Then he got DeLon Wright underneath, bringing the ball up in a transition situation. And then another transition, running the court, finishes at the hoop, goes into the stanchion. Could have been an and-one, missed the free throw, but... Still incredible stuff from Towns contributed to the first 17 points for the Knicks in the fourth quarter. When you consider the situation, the conference finals, his team is down. They're losing this game. Brunson isn't playing well. He's in foul trouble. This is like maybe the best 10 minutes of Carl Anthony Towns' career.
You mentioned it when we were watching game one. Skeets, every time this guy scores to go back down the other side of the court, he does a Sammy Sosa hop. And he was hopping like crazy in this one. I don't know what the solution is for Indiana, but they did not have one last night.
Yeah, that was so fun to watch him go off in that fourth because it looked terrible to start this game for him. He had three fouls in the first half that were all bad. He bumped Andrew Nembhard at midcourt for no friggin' reason. Then he had a moving screen. Then he had Tyrese Halliburton in the post and did the hook, which probably should have been called a foul on Tyrese Halliburton.
