How Karl-Anthony Towns is punishing the Celtics, even without the use of his greatest weapon
Getty Images Hear the name Karl-Anthony Towns and one thing likely comes to mind: 3-point shooting. The 7-footer caught a lot of flak a few years ago for brazenly proclaiming himself "the greatest big man shooter of all time," but guess what? Apologies to Dirk Nowitzki, but KAT's claim is pretty much unassailable at this point.Only six times in NBA history has a player averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game for a full season on 50/40/80 shooting splits. Three of those belong to Towns. The Kentucky product is the poster child for the modern NBA big man, shooting a pristine 40% from 3-point range on over four attempts per game during his 10-year career.So, when you say that Towns has been hurting the Boston Celtics as the New York Knicks have opened a commanding 2-0 series lead thanks […]
Iga Swiatek’s serve deserts her in Italian Open upset against Danielle Collins
ROME — Iga Świątek’s struggles continue, at one of the last places anyone in tennis would have expected. Świątek, a master of clay-court tennis and defending champion at the Italian Open, lost to American Danielle Collins in the second round, falling 6-1, 7-5.Collins had beaten Świątek just once before in eight meetings, but on Saturday in the Campo Centrale of the Foro Italico, Collins looked like she’d had her opponents number for years.AdvertisementThe head-to-head record aside, world No. 35 Collins represents the sort of player Świątek has been losing to all year, in places where she tends not to lose at all: big hitters capable of jumping on her increasingly vulnerable first serve, which deserted her entirely in the first set against the American. The pressure builds behind Świątek’s first serve, then her second serve, and then the rest of […]
