The Spurs knew an adjustment had to be made on Jalen Brunson, who torched San Antonio in the second half of a loss in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
And they did make that adjustment. But, they didn’t have an answer early for Karl-Anthony Towns, the Knicks’ best player on the floor for beginning of Friday’s 105-104 Game 2 win in Frost Bank Center.
What was missing? A moment in the fourth for Towns to steady his sputtering team as the Spurs went on a 14-0 run in hopes of tying the series, 1-1.
In fact, Towns didn’t touch the ball for six consecutive possessions late in the fourth quarter as the Spurs sparked a comeback attempt.
It was a tale of two halves. After scoring 17 points by halftime, Towns logged just four the rest of the way.
