Wednesday's 110-89 Timberwolves win over Denver marked the best performance from Karl-Anthony Towns in the young season. Towns scored 21 points as he helped the Wolves build a 22-point lead, but Towns also had a strong game on the defensive end, where he prevented Denver center Nikola Jokic from dominating the game scoring or passing.
