There was some drama surrounding the status of Karl-Anthony Towns, affectionately known as KAT. The big man, whose perimeter skills makes him hard to defend while also helping to spread the floor, has been dealing with tightness in his left calf. He was on the Knicks’ injury list heading into the night, but he persevered and was among the starting group. His night got off to as bad a start as possible when KAT picked up two fouls in five minutes, including one foul on an inadvertent elbow to Barnes’ mouth.
