Knicks Challenge Karl-Anthony Towns as Foul Trouble Mounts
SLUG: knicks-challenge-karl-anthony-towns-foul-trouble
The New York Knicks focused their game plan on exploiting Karl-Anthony Towns’ foul issues during their Dec. 27, 2025 meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to the New York Post.
The report says New York’s approach was designed to “send a message” to the Timberwolves center, who has struggled to stay on the floor because of personal fouls. As whistles accumulated against the three-time All-Star, Minnesota was forced to shuffle its rotation while the Knicks continued to attack the paint.
Neither team publicly detailed the on-court exchanges, but the strategy underscored New York’s intent to neutralize Towns by drawing fouls early and often.
