The New York Knicks have shown flashes of being a really good basketball team. At the same time, they have looked like a team that has a long way to go to reach the heights they have set for themselves and the expectations from the outside.

Towns returned to the hardwood after a one-game absence and posted an impressive stat line, leading the Knicks in points and rebounds while ending second in assists behind Jalen Brunson's 10. Towns has been excellent in his first year with the Manhattan franchise and has recorded 10 double-doubles in his first 12 games with New York.
