Towns defeated the Heat with 39+11! The two substitutes scored 60 points, and the old Clippers player tried his best with 38 points.

On November 15th, in the NBA Cup group stage, the Heat challenged the Knicks away from home. Both teams were absent in this game. The two teams fell into a tug-of-war. The Heat took some initiative, but the Knicks turned the situation around with 46 points in the second quarter. They have maintained the lead since then and withstood the Heat's counterattack. In the end, the Knicks defeated the Heat 140-132.

In this game, the two teams went head-to-head with each other, and their offense was very hot. The Heat only scored no more than 30 points in the fourth quarter, while the Knicks scored all 30 points in a single quarter, including 46 points in the second quarter, and a whopping 140 points in the game. On the other hand, the Heat played very well here, scoring as many as 132 points. It's a pity that they still couldn't win the game despite such a performance.

The Knicks lacked Brunson, and Towns shouldered the heavy responsibility. He performed very strongly on the offensive end. He played 38 minutes, making 13 of 26 shots and 6 of 14 three-pointers. He scored a game-high 39 points, plus 11 rebounds and 4 assists, with a team-high plus-minus of +13. Towns has also made sacrifices for the team before. Once he is needed to make more contributions on the offensive end, he can do it. This time he directly defeated the Heat insiders who lacked Adebayor.

In addition to Towns’ explosive performance, Shamet and Clarkson on the bench became super players, scoring up to 60 points together. Among them, Shamet had a hot performance, making 6 of 12 three-pointers and scoring 36 points with a plus-minus value of +11, which directly made up for Brunson's vacancy; while Clarkson made 6 of 13 and scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. In addition, Hart also contributed a triple-double of 12 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists on the bench.

Six players on the Heat's team scored in double figures. Among them, Powell, acquired in this summer's trade, is full of firepower. The old Clippers player has adapted very well. This time, he had a hot performance. He made 12 of 22 shots, 8 of 15 three-pointers, and scored 38 points and 5 rebounds. He really tried his best, but he had no choice but to make nothing. But judging from Powell's performance, the Clippers' transaction this summer completely failed and they lost a super scorer.
