INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Karl-Anthony Towns had 40 points and 12 rebounds, Josh Hart added 30 points and 10 rebounds and New York beat Indiana.

Jaren Jackson Jr. added 17 for Memphis, which led by as many as 19 before Phoenix cut the margin to three on Bol Bol’s 3-pointer with 2:34 left. Morant’s layup on the ensuing possession turned back the threat.
