Karl-Anthony Towns made his long-awaited return to the Target Center floor on Wednesday night, and there were seemingly few restrictions or rust on him. That was tested in a major way when Towns stepped to the free-throw line to win the game with 3.6 seconds left.
Amid a hushed arena, an arena that had been in a frenzy when he was introduced pregame, Towns hit both free throws and the Wolves forced DeAndre Hunter to airball a right corner three for a 125-124 victory.
Even despite nearly four months off, Towns had the ball in his hands at the top of the key with the Wolves down one and 7.
