OKLAHOMA CITY — When the first round of fan voting for the NBA All-Star rosters was announced Thursday, the Knicks had representation with Karl-Anthony Towns third in the frontcourt and Jalen Brunson fourth among guards. And those two will likely make the roster once the player and coach votes are counted.

The 2024-25 New York Knicks are off to a great start. They are 24-10 and on a nine-game winning streak. They are five games ahead of their pace at the same point last season (19-15). And while New York was licking its wounds after losing Isaiah Hartenstein to the Oklahoma City Thunder last Summer,

Karl-Anthony Towns said following Wednesday’s win that Thibodeau is “a different man” now and more mellow than he was a decade ago with Minnesota.

The New York Knicks were missing some vital instruments but they still managed to open the new year on a high note against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Despite lacking both Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride,

Karl-Anthony Towns scored 31 points and corralled 21 rebounds and Josh Hart recorded a triple-double as the Knicks grabbed a ninth-straight win, topping the visiting Utah Jazz 119-103 on Wednesday night.

Hart is the first Knick, and fifth overall, to earned a triple-double in back-to-back games since Michael Ray Richardson did so in 1981 and that unique brotherhood also includes Walt "Clyde" Frazier, Richie Guerin, and Jerry Lucas.

Former NBA champion says New York unlocked a new Karl-Anthony Towns as the Knicks star shines in a dominant performance vs. the Jazz.
