There were plenty of highlights from the Knicks’ Game 2 win over the 76ers on Wednesday night, but it’s possible Karl-Anthony Towns earned the loudest cheer of the night from the Madison Square Garden crowd for his work with a mop.
In the third quarter, the ball got stuck behind the backboard just underneath the shot clock. Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey acquired a mop from one of the workers on the court, but quickly handed it off to teammate Andre Drummond, who was taller and thus likely better suited for the task. Unfortunately, Drummond struggled, knocking the ball around quite a bit but not freeing it from its glass prison.
