The New York Knicks traded six first-round picks, another pick swap, Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo last summer for Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. Suffice to say, they did not deal that much for these two guys to combine for zero points in the fourth quarter of a tight playoff loss.

Karl-Anthony Towns was surprisingly relegated to a decoy in the second half of the Knicks' troubling Game 2 loss to Detroit on Monday.

Karl-Anthony Towns pulled a Houdini when the Knicks needed him the most. Towns, after a strong Game 1, disappeared late in the Knicks’ 100-94 Game 2 loss Monday night at Madison Square Garden, which evened the series at one apiece heading back to Detroit.
