New York Knicks guard Josh Hart christened Karl-Anthony Towns with a new nickname after the big man made his Knicks debut in Sunday's 111-109 preseason

Hart’s reaction to the deal would be particular notable, since his close friend — and former Villanova teammate — Donte DiVincenzo was part of the deal, along with Julius Randle, DaQuan Jeffries and a lottery-protected first-round pick from the Pistons.

Jalen Brunson thought twice about going 1-on-2 in transition, instead dribbling back outside and flipping the ball behind him to Karl-Anthony Towns, who made a 3-pointer with a defender in his face.
