The Knicks are focusing on a key offensive adjustment after their Game 3 loss to the Spurs: getting Karl-Anthony Towns more involved in late-game situations.

New York’s offense stalled down the stretch, prompting the team to identify Towns’ involvement as a priority. Brown described the need to feature Towns more effectively late in games as “extremely important,” underscoring the emphasis on improving execution when possessions become more difficult.

Late-Game Offense Under Review

The Game 3 defeat highlighted the Knicks’ need for more consistent scoring options in closing moments. Towns’ skill set gives New York a major offensive presence, and the team’s comments point to a desire to ensure he remains a central part of the attack as games tighten.

The Knicks will look to address that issue as they continue the series against San Antonio, with late-game shot creation and offensive flow among the areas receiving attention following the loss.
