Yahoo Sports reports: Karl-Anthony Towns' first two baskets of the NBA Finals were like countless others in his career. Towns helped set a tone for the Knicks in Game 1 on Wednesday night by going right at San Antonio's best player — and the unanimous pick as Defensive Player of the Year — twice in the opening minutes. Towns didn't get any more field goals against Wembanyama over the remainder of the game and didn't have to, finishing with 18 points in New York's 105-95 win.
