From the first minutes and the first baskets scored, we felt that Karl-Anthony Towns was motivated and in great shape. The clash with the Warriors obviously had a special flavor for him, and it was an extension of his “game winner” the day before against the Cavaliers.
“When we face Golden State, everyone is like that”he assures ESPN. “We have a different energy, the atmosphere is not the same. »
The interior of Wolves also knew that it was necessary to leave a big game because Anthony Edwards, touched in the knee, was not present at his side, on the floor. “My competitive spirit then went up a notch”says the All-Star.
The Warriors, as often this season against talented interiors, were powerless to stop his penetrations since neither Kevon Looney nor Jonathan Kuminga managed to hold him when he approached the circle.
The Wolves thus served their best scorer throughout the game and Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 39 points at 14/22 in shooting, 3/6 in 3-pts, 8/11 in free throws, without forgetting 9 rebounds, in 32 minutes.
“He played hard, until exhaustion”confie Chris Finch. “One moment he asked me out. He set a great example for others tonight. »
