When the New York Knicks parted ways with head coach Tom Thibodeau in favor of Mike Brown this summer, it was widely believed that the aim was to finally bring the club's offensive punch into the 21 Century.
Over four full months of action, it seems this shakeup has already proven successful, as the Knickerbockers have improved across many key statistical areas, including points per game (115.8 to 117.1), three-point percentage (36.9 to 37.4), and offensive rating (117.3 to 118.2).
Now, as they bee-line it toward their fifth playoff berth in six seasons, it appears Brown faces yet another crucial challenge -- figuring out a way to get the most out of Karl-Anthony Towns.
