The New York Knicks were eliminated from the NBA playoffs by the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night. A few hours later, a new report from The Athletic revealed internal frustration around one particular shortcoming of Karl-Anthony Towns.
Shortly after Game 6's 125-108 defeat, James L. Edwards III and Fred Katz reported Knicks players and coaches "expressed frustration" with KAT's defensive shortcomings. Specifically they were frustrated with the center's poor defensive habits and worried he didn't get how important it was to stay connected on that end of the floor.
