of new york knicks No player is having more fun than Karl-Anthony Towns, who is giving the Orlando Magic an absolute blow in the final night of NBA Cup group play on Tuesday. Towns had another 20-10 game to power the Knicks' offense, maximizing his scoring ability by knocking down threes and hitting tough shots inside the arc. Towns had some memorable moments in this game, most notably his reaction to a physical collision with Magic big man Moe Wagner.
Wagner, the older brother of Orlando star Franz Wagner, is notorious for irritating the entire league. Wagner and Towns argued inside the room all night, but at some point Towns got fed up.
While the two players were trading low shots, Towns literally paused for a moment, wide-eyed, before attempting to hit a turnaround jumper. See the reactions here:
Watch the entire play here. You can see KAT stop and roll her eyes.
Everything about this is perfect. Towns seems to have realized a bit of his arrogance since being traded to the Knicks, and sometimes his attitude just shows when playing against a pest like Wagner.
Wagner blocked Towns late in the quarter and started clapping him in the face. The town literally applauded.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Towns was also hilarious and made a great pass before halftime.
The Knicks are a work in progress, but Towns certainly seems to have the ball.
