Karl-Anthony Towns had a night to forget on Tuesday. In 24:17 against the Los Angeles Clippers, he was held to 11 points on 3-of-11 shooting from the field and early into the fourth quarter, he was ejected from the game with six personal fouls.
One would expected the Clippers to run away with the game after that, but it was actually the Timberwolves that picked up the intensity in KAT’s absence. The Clippers tried their best to match that intensity but ultimately fell short, losing 109-104 at the Target Center. They’ll now play whoever wins between the San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Pelicans in another play-in game on Thursday.
