The story of the New York Knicks season has been a successful one, but there are questions over whether they can maintain it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New York Knicks<\/a> have received criticism despite their 29-16 record, with Kevin Garnett recently calling out head coach Tom Thibodeau<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Garnett argued the Knicks lack faith in their bench players, and judging by the minutes Thibodeau gives to his excellent starting five, he’s not wrong.<\/p>\n

Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> is dealing with an injury<\/a> too, making his life more difficult on the court.<\/p>\n

Precious Achiuwa impresses<\/h2>\n

Precious Achiuwa got 18 minutes on the court in the 99-95 win over the Brooklyn Nets, contributing 11 points, more than any other bench player.<\/p>\n

And according to Knicks Centric, the combination of Achiuwa and Towns on court together has enjoyed real success.<\/p>\n

Tommy Beer reports: “In the 144 minutes Karl-Anthony Towns and Precious Achiuwa have shared the floor together this season, New York has outscored their opponents by 44 points and is allowing just 104.4 points per 100 possessions.”<\/p>\n
