The shots are way down because Towns is choosing for them to be, not because the Knicks are failing to include him. He’s never received the basketball this much since joining the Knicks, and he’s revamped what he does next. During the regular season, Towns took a shot on 26 percent of his touches, according to Second Spectrum. During the seven-game winning streak, that rate is down to 15 percent. He’s passing on 71 percent of his touches, compared to 61 percent during the regular season. In the best-passing season of his career, 2022-23 with the Minnesota Timberwolves, he dished an assist on eight percent of his touches. During the winning streak, he’s more than doubled that number to a shade above 16 percent.
