But none of those performances came in games of the magnitude of Wednesday’s. Towns authored an eye-catching two-way display, producing consistent offense on one end of the floor while limiting Victor Wembanyama<\/a>‘s effectiveness on the other.<\/p>\n

Compared to his glitziest showings, Towns’ output on Wednesday might look a bit underwhelming. Rest assured, however, his outing proved vital to New York’s result. His teammates and coaches made that clear postgame\/<\/p>\n

Towns continued his run of strong form on Wednesday, producing 18 points on 7-of-15 shooting. He tallied 12 rebounds, the joint-second-highest mark of any player (trailing only Josh Hart<\/a>). He fell slightly short of his postseason average for assists, collecting just four instead of his usual 5.9 dimes.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Towns powered New York’s comeback efforts on Wednesday night \u2014 especially as Brunson<\/a>‘s performance toiled.<\/p>\n

He also kept Wembanyama quiet, an impressive \u2014 and somewhat unexpected \u2014 sight.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman had his fair share of highlights during the contest, swatting Towns to send San Antonio<\/a>‘s concourses into raptures.<\/p>\n

But Towns got the last laugh, using his physicality to bother his opposite number on both ends of the floor.<\/p>\n

His display had Mike Brown singing his praises postgame.<\/p>\n
