After coming back from 29 points down in the second half, the Knicks registered a 107-106 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at the Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.

Towns may have not posted great numbers but he may have played a vital role in the final play of the game. A video clip of the final play shows Towns was caught on camera asking the fans to get closer to Dylan Harper and distract him.
