Summary
Karl-Anthony Towns said officiating did not cost New York Game 3, blaming turnovers and poor execution for the Knicks' 115-111 NBA Finals loss that cut their series lead to 2-1.
14-3 was the third-quarter free-throw gap Mike Brown highlighted after the game, and San Antonio attempted three times as many free throws as New York in the second half.
36% second-half shooting compounded the Knicks' problems, while Towns managed 11 points and eight rebounds after scoring a team-high 21 in Game 2; Jalen Brunson led New York with 32.
Game 4 is set for 8:30 p.m. EDT at Madison Square Garden, where Brown said the officiating debate will remain part of the buildup even as he acknowledged New York's controllable mistakes.
