Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Stellar performance in loss

Towns tallied 32 points (10-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks in 40 minutes during Monday's 107-98 loss to the Pelicans.

Towns put up another strong performance despite the Timberwolves falling to their first loss of the season. He has looked incredible to begin the season and for those who invested a top-5 pick on him, things are certainly looking good. The fear of missed games is something that is likely to linger for the majority of the season, be it due to injury or simply because the team falls out of playoff contention.
