Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said he believed “it’s a good sign” that Towns was able to remain in the game, and “we’ll see where he is after he gets evaluated” by the medical staff. Towns collided with Indiana’s Aaron Nesmith with the Knicks trailing by seven with 2:11 remaining. He initially was whistled for an offensive foul, but Thibodeau challenged the call and it was ruled that Towns had been pushed into Nesmith by Pacers center Myles Turner.
