ATLANTA — Karl-Anthony Towns just did something no NBA player has ever done in playoff history. Not once, but twice.

In Game 4 against the Hawks, with the Knicks staring down a 3-1 series deficit, Towns recorded his first career playoff triple-double in just 29 minutes — tying Luka Dončić for the fastest triple-double in postseason history. Then, in Thursday's series-clinching Game 6 at State Farm Arena, he did it again: 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in only 28 minutes, setting a new record for the quickest playoff triple-double ever.

"I just wanted to answer the call," Towns said after the win. "You ask for the opportunities, and they oblige. I've got to repay that trust. I always talk about impacting winning, and I wanted to make sure I took advantage of every chance I was given."

What changed? The Knicks finally figured out how to run their offense through their All-Star big man — consistently and effectively. Earlier this season, that connection seemed elusive. Now, Towns is making the right reads play after play, and New York's offense has never looked more dangerous.

"I think we were always comfortable with it," guard Josh Hart explained. "We just didn't do a good enough job doing that. But now you see the ability — two triple-doubles in three games. He can knock down shots, play off the dribble, and pass. That's something we're going to keep doing."

For the Knicks, unlocking Towns' full potential isn't just about stats — it's about championship aspirations. When the ball finds KAT, good things follow. And right now, the Knicks are making sure it finds him more than ever.
