Karl-Anthony Towns aims to flip the script for the New York Knicks tonight as the Eastern Conference Finals shift to Indianapolis. Down 0-2 after Friday’s 114-109 loss at Madison Square Garden, the All-NBA big man insists, “We’re not here to repeat history; we’re here to make it”. Front-court firepower • Game 1: 35 points, 12 rebounds and four triples in 39 minutes showed why the mid-season blockbuster that landed Towns in New York instantly reshaped the East playoff picture. • Game 2: Indiana crowded the paint and switched length onto Towns, holding him to 20 points in 28 minutes before coach Tom Thibodeau leaned small late. Knicks’ road recipe New York is 5-1 away from home this postseason, posting a 110.8 defensive rating and shooting 38.9 % from deep—both improvements on their Garden numbers. Towns and Jalen Brunson have combined for 50.8 points per road game, with Brunson perfect in five clutch road finishes. Key matchup: Towns vs. Siakam/Myles Turner Indiana neutralized New York’s two-big lineup by fronting Towns and forcing kick-outs. Expect the Knicks to re-introduce Mitchell Robinson as a lob threat while sliding Towns to the elbow, where he shot 48 % on catch-and-shoot jumpers this year. Keeping the 7-footer involved early could also unlock his playmaking; Towns averaged 5.1 assists when he touched the ball on the first two possessions of a quarter. What a Game 3 turnaround would mean Teams trailing 0-2 erase the deficit only 7.8 % of the time, but Towns-led clubs are 31-17 when he scores 20+ and 56-20 when he breaks 30 in his career. If New York steals tonight’s contest, home-court advantage swings back to Madison Square Garden, where Towns has averaged 27.4 points since the trade. Injury watch & X-factors • Towns (left wrist soreness) is listed probable and participated fully in shoot-around, per team officials. • Pascal Siakam (39 points in Game 2) has torched single coverage; throwing double-teams risks opening corner threes for Bennedict Mathurin, shooting 41 % this series. • Bench battle: The Knicks are plus-22 with Isaiah Hartenstein on the floor; Indiana’s reserves own a plus-18 net rating at home. Search-friendly takeaways – Karl-Anthony Towns eyes Game 3 bounce-back vs Pacers – Knicks road record points to upset potential in Indianapolis – Tactical tweaks: more elbow touches, Robinson-Towns twin-tower minutes – Eastern Conference Finals live updates, tip-off 8 p.m. ET on TNT Bottom line For New York to rewrite the narrative, Towns must dictate terms early—stretching the floor, punishing switches and staying aggressive through Indy’s inevitable traps. A vintage KAT performance could turn a precarious 0-2 hole into a brand-new series.
