Knicks superfan Ben Stiller is enjoying New York’s success after they advanced in the playoffs. This followed their 51-point victory over the Atlanta Hawks.
Stiller Reacts to Towns’ Comments and Game 6 Victory
Stiller responded to a moment from Karl-Anthony Towns’ postgame press conference. Towns acknowledged that they “didn’t play our best basketball” at times in the series, but dominant wins made a “statement about who we could be when we’re clicking on all cylinders.”
The actor agreed with Towns’ comments, saying, “This team knows the assignment. No question.”
He also reacted to the back cover of the New York Post from Thursday, Apr. 30, 2026, which features Towns high-fiving fans after Game 6 with the headline “140-89! Knicks look unstoppable in historic romp.”
Stiller proudly said, “New York woke up to this.”
