Karl-Anthony Towns #32 of the New York Knicks looks at the Boston Celtics in the TD Garden during the game

The Knicks still have a 2-1 series leadership. But Karl-Anthony Towns may have left game 3 more than just one loss.

The All-Star-Grosser was going through the defeat on Saturday 115-93 through a locked Celtics squad on Saturday, which was obviously struggling with an apparently right-wing injury that seemed to be in the second quarter. Although he ended with 21 points and 15 rebounds, cities only shot 5 out of 18 from the field and looked visibly uncomfortable for a large part of the afternoon.

The reaction of the cities to injuries pulls the eyebrows up

After the game, cities didn't say much.

“It is what it is. I just want to do everything to be out there.”

Karl-Anthony Towns was asked about his hand injury:

“It is what it is. I just want to do everything to be out there.”

When the cities were asked, it refused to deal with whether he got an X -ray or other imaging or not

When he was asked if he had undergone imaging, the cities were able to implement the question. But a video of the moment he was injured told a different story. After a tangle with the Celtics Center Luke Koret catch cameras cities who clasped his hand while they seemingly seemingly oral:

“I broke it.”

Kat said “I broke it” when he reaches his hand.

Knick's head coach Tom Thibodeau no longer offered clarity.

“They are the playoffs and people are hit. You have to play through things. So you do it all season.”

Knicks fall flat, Celtics catch fire

The Knicks in game 3 did not have such magic for a team who wrote playoff story with consecutive 20-point comebacks in Boston.

New York fell back by 25 at halftime. You have never recovered. Jalen Brunson achieved 17 points in 6-of-19 shooting. OG Anunoby was calm with 8 points. Mikal Bridges only added 11. The Knicks ended 5 of 25 from Deep, while the Celtics MSG was illuminated and 20 threesome with a clip of 50%.

Boston's Payton Pritchard led all the scorers from the bank with 23, while Jayson Tatum taught 22 points, 9 boards and 7 templates in a wire-to-wire victory.

Cities play through it, but at what price?

Even the cities still bang 21 and 15 – several small kinks left runs and showed lightning of his usual offensive power. But the efficiency was not there, and the elevator was not on his sweater either.

If the hand of the cities is seriously injured, the consequences could be massive. He was the emotional and physical anchor of this kink run, and without it in full strength, New York reaches suddenly fragile.

Game 4 tips from Monday evening in Madison Square Garden. And all eyes are pointed on Kat's right hand.
