The New York Knicks took on the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Thursday evening.
The Knicks won with a score of 133-107.
Following the game, NBA veteran Charles Barkley issued a forceful remark.
The Knicks are presently the third seed in the East, with a 17-10 record in 27 games.
They are one game ahead of the fourth-place Orlando Magic and 4.0 games behind the second-place Boston Celtics.
Last season, the Knicks were eliminated from the NBA playoffs in the second round by the Indiana Pacers after seven games.
During the offseason, they acquired Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony in major transactions.
Towns has been a significant addition to the roster.
He concluded the win over Minnesota with 32 points, 20 rebounds, six assists, and two steals in 38 minutes of play, shooting 10/12 from the field and 5/5 from three.
Via StatMuse:Â “KAT rebounds this month:
20 REB
22 REB
19 REB
15 REB
16 REB
15 REB
19 REB
While averaging 23 PPG and shooting 52/44/82% splits.”
In addition, the Knicks have Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and OG Anunoby.
If they can stay healthy, Barkley is likely correct in predicting that they will be a contender for the 2025 NBA championship.
The Knicks will return to action on Saturday evening, when they travel to the New Orleans Pelicans.
