After Karl-Anthony Towns had been limited by foul trouble to 21 minutes in the Timberwolves' three-point loss to San Antonio on Friday at Target Center — tying his season-low for minutes in the process — interim coach Ryan Saunders said he and his center would talk about Towns' frequent foul issues.
Towns needed to stay more vertical, Saunders suggested. Not bring his arms down. But in the locker room moments later — after fouling out for the sixth time this year — Towns wouldn't comment on the officiating.
Towns leads the league with six disqualifications and led the league with 3.
