It’s time for sure, the romance between <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/nba-minnesota-timberwolves-the-call-of-the-forest/" title="NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves, the call of the forest”>Karl-Anthony Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves is over. After nine years with the Wolves, the interior (2.13 m, 28 years old) played on the night from Sunday to Monday with the Knicks against his ex-franchise (115-110), in a more tense meeting than the sporting issue that it took on.
And if the entry of Towns was expected, it was another return, that of Donte DiVincenzo, which rather got people talking. Between the barbs at his former coach Tom Thibodeau and his altercation with Jalen Brunson’s father, the evening of the former Knicks, recently transferred from New York to Minneapolis in the exchange which also involves Towns, was not good. all rest.
On the sporting side, Towns had a satisfying double-double without being sparkling (16 points, 16 rebounds, 29 minutes of play). Instead, you had to look to the other side of the field to see the great performance of the night. In 27 minutes, and despite his team’s defeat, Anthony Edwards shone. The guard (1.93 m, 23 years old) scored 31 points, with 8/13 from 3 points, enough to hurt the Knicks defense.
For his part, Rudy Gobert had 9 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists in 28 minutes for the Wolves. The next confrontation between the two teams – “for real” this time – will be followed at the end of December. Enough to ease the pressure a little until then.
