After a rough Game 2, Knicks' head coach Tom Thibodeau clarified it was "Towns' hard work ethic":
"I'd say 'Welcome to New York', but I think he has a really good understanding of New York being from here. Basically he's unfazed," Thibodeau said.
Knicks are up 2-1 with one more game to be played in Detroit before series returns to Madison Square Garden.
