• Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Near double-double in win

  05/17/2021 •

  Towns accumulated 23 points (6-12 FG, 10-11 FT, 1-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 win over the Mavericks. Towns finished the regular season on a tear, but he fell just one rebound shy of his third consecutive double-double. The 2015 first-overall pick scored 20-plus points in his final 14 games, averaging 24.9 points, 9.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists during that stretch. The 25-year-old remains a dominant threat in the league, but it will be interesting to monitor how the emergence of Anthony Edwards affects Towns' numbers.

  Towns posted 24 points (9-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Celtics. As it has been a trend every time he steps on the court donning a Minnesota uniform, Towns carried the Timberwolves offensively while also recording his third double-double of the month, and second straight one. The star big man has also been on a scoring tear, as he has registered 20-plus points in 13 straight contests.

  Towns recorded 20 points (6-18 FG, 4-6 FT, 4-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 114-103 loss to the Nuggets. Towns was hot from three Thursday, but he only made two of his 11 attempts from inside the arc. The Nuggets elected to start JaVale McGee alongside MVP front-runner Nikola Jokic and it appeared to affect Towns' efficiency on the block. Despite his struggles from the field, the former first-overall pick still cracked 20 points, extending his streak of games with 20-plus points to 12. Towns also snagged a team-high 11 rebounds, securing his first double-double since May 1.
