There were three very encouraging things about the way they won game three.

Number one, the aggressiveness, the urgency from Carl Anthony Towns.

Yes, because he was coached to do so.

Or he heard the criticism.

Or Jaylen Brunson said, hey, bro, get your head out of your butt.

Let's go. That's the other thing. And I know that Jalen was taking a lot of heat after game

two, where he was facing a lot of criticism for not sharing the basketball enough, where at

times that may have been true, though I thought in the final four minutes, I thought he set

his teammates up well, the Josh Hart Dunk, open threes from mckell bridges but jaylen

brunson was a facilitator in game three and there's no question he put his teammates in great

position to succeed so he deserves a lot of credit but i thought towns and you could see it from jump

and you could even see it in that aggressiveness early in the game when you had the pushing and the shoving

and the chippiness, if you will, that cat was on a mission. Now, whether it's listening to

sports talk radio or social media or maybe just talking to his family, cat knew, well,

I've got to be aggressive because if I'm aggressive, they can't stop me. Right. And that's true.

They can't stop me. And especially if I'm shooting well from downtown, which he did, he shot 50%.

I said he'd make six of eight.

He made four of eight.

But it doesn't matter.

Right.

He did what he did best.

And it also allowed him to be more aggressive.
