So, remember all the talk about Karl-Anthony Towns underperforming earlier in the season? Back when the Timberwolves had Jimmy Butler?
Well. last night. KAT dropped a casual 27 points and 27 rebounds and added four blocks to go alongside that.
Read that again: 27 points. And 27 rebounds. That is a stat that has not been accomplished in 45 years.
Only five players in the history of the NBA have ever recorded 27 points, 27 rebounds, and four blocks, and KAT just made himself one of them. He joins fellow Kentucky Wildcat and potential NBA All-Star Game teammate Anthony Davis as the only players with 25+ points and 25+ rebounds in a game this season.
