Karl-Anthony Towns and Landry Shamet took center stage on Nov. 14, 2025, steering the New York Knicks to a victory over the Miami Heat while starting point guard Jalen Brunson remained sidelined.
Towns imposed his presence throughout the night, and Shamet supplied crucial perimeter offense as New York secured the win. Their combined effort compensated for Brunson’s absence and kept the Heat at bay in the closing minutes.
The matchup marked an important early-season test for the Knicks, who relied on balanced scoring and timely defense to close out Miami. Towns dominated inside, while Shamet’s shooting stretched the floor and prevented the Heat from collapsing in the paint.
New York now looks ahead to its next game with renewed confidence, buoyed by the performance of its supporting cast in Brunson’s absence.
