Karl-Anthony Towns hasn’t recovered from his thumb injury, but he is adjusting to life with it. After hitting just 1-of-10 3-point shots in three games since returning from a bone chip and sprained right thumb, the Knicks big man was 2-for-4 from long range in Monday’s 143-106 win over Memphis at Madison Square Garden.

Karl-Anthony Towns had a double-double and the New York Knicks held off a late Toronto Raptors rally for a 121-115 win on Tuesday. Towns had 27 points and 20 rebounds as New York (34-17) won back-to-back games. Jalen Brunson’s three-pointer in the game’s last minute of play capped a 28-point performance.
