In the postgame conference, coach Mike Brown credited Towns for his effort on the glass.
“He’s just got a nose or a knack for the ball. You know he doesn’t jump real high, but he’s long, and he understands angles,” said Brown in the video posted by SNY.
“KAT’s in that category when it comes to rebounding. We emphasize it quite a bit, and we tell guys, ‘You gotta put bodies on bodies.’ So if our small is on other people around him or putting bodies on bodies, it’s a one-on-one contest for KAT, and he’s gonna win most times.”

The 30-year-old Towns is second in the league with 13.8 rebounds per game, trailing only Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings, who averages 14.6 rebounds per outing.
If Towns can maintain this level of effort, he could set a new career-high in rebounds.
The six-time All-Star is amid a contract standoff with the Knicks, and he is proving he is worth more than the $200 million the front office offered to him in the offseason.
New York will face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
