IMPACT PLAYER
Karl-Anthony Towns, Wolves
With 7-1 Defender of the Year Rudy Gobert injured, Towns ran and scored at will on a 31-point, 11-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in which he came back in the fourth quarter to get those final two assists.
BY THE NUMBERS
9-for-9 Wolves reserve forward Jaden McDaniels' perfect shooting night — including 3-for-3 on three pointers — that included its share of dunks.
40-27 Wolves' lopsided third-quarter advantage.
18 Towns' third-quarter points on his way to that game-high 31.
