Towns finished with 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 105-101 win over the Heat.
Towns bounced back after a poor showing against the 76ers, leading the Timberwolves to their fourth straight victory. While the points production was excellent here, perhaps more important was that he handed out a season-high nine assists. With D'Angelo Russell struggling a little, the team seems content running their offense through Towns a bit more. Given that his rebounding numbers have taken a hit, increasing his assist numbers should help buoy his overall value moving forward.
