New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns credited a specific Bible verse as a source of strength as he continues to mourn the loss of his late mother, whose presence he's felt as he competes in the National Basketball Association Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.
In an interview on ESPN's "Volkswagen Postgame" following the second game of the NBA Finals on Friday, Towns was asked about his grief over his mother as he fights for a shot at the NBA Championship title.
