## Summary

Karl-Anthony Towns is one double-double away from matching Willis Reed’s Knicks record for the most consecutive double-doubles to start a season. His strong start comes as New York builds on its winning streak and seeks to defend its NBA title.

Towns had 21 points and 16 rebounds in Tuesday’s win over Milwaukee, recording his 10th consecutive double-double; Reed set the mark with 11 at the start of the 1970-71 season. Towns leads the Eastern Conference with 13.8 rebounds per game and could tie Reed against Cleveland on Wednesday. The article also notes that Bucks coach Taylor Jenkins interviewed for the Knicks job last year before Mike Brown was appointed.
