Karl-Anthony Towns breaks Minnesota franchise record with 56 points tonight

by: Jack Pilgrim03/29/18
Karl-Anthony Towns just made history. After scoring 56 points on 19-32 shooting, 15 rebounds, four assists, and a block, the former Kentucky big man now holds the Minnesota franchise record for most points in a game. Towns becomes Minnesota's fourth 50-point scorer in history, with Mo Williams, Corey Brewer, and Kevin Love being the only other players to accomplish the feat. Just how good is a 55-15 night? Only three people in NBA history have recorded that stat line through age 22, and two of them are Wildcats. https://twitter.com/AaronGleeman/status/979181058766721032 Last night, a video went viral of Ben Simmons playing PUBG, a battle royale-style video game, with Towns. Simmons asked Towns to play one more game with him, saying he had "plenty of time" to play because the Timberwolves were only playing the Atlanta Hawks tonight. Turns out, Simmons was correct. https://twitter.com/Timberwolves/status/979181015523627009 BBNBA shattering records daily. Congratulations, KAT!
