Karl-Anthony Towns’ injured left ring finger doesn’t appear to be an issue. Towns wasn’t included on the Knicks injury report on Sunday and practiced fully, according to coach Tom Thibodeau. Towns suffered the injury in the second quarter of the Celtics’ Game 3 romp, but still finished the game. He wound up with 21 points and 15 rebounds in 36 minutes. “He’s fine,” Thibodeau said. During the game, Towns could be seen shaking his left hand.

Brunson finished with a team-high 27 points, but eight of those came over the final 12 minutes after the result was well in hand.

But he has been there before, exactly one year ago.

Tom Thibodeau doesn’t believe the new pope means his Knicks are now destined to win it all. But he does think that Cardinal Robert Frances Prevost, a Villanova alum and Chicago native, being voted in as the first pope from the United States is helpful for his three former Villanova stars, Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges. 3 Tom Thibodeau of the New York Knicks reacts against the Boston Celtics.
