Part 4/7:
The impact of Towns was amplified by contributions from other players. Julius Randle scored 24 points, while Donte DiVincenzo added another 15 to the mix. The absence of Josh Hart, who was away for personal reasons, opened an opportunity for Precious Achiuwa, who stepped up with a double-double, showcasing the depth of the team.
The dominant rebounding displayed by the Knicks, highlighted by their 20-board advantage over the Timberwolves, was a testament to their physicality and perseverance in the paint. The team capitalized on their size advantage, as both Towns and Achiuwa took command of the boards, securing vital possessions.
