The greatest shooting big man of all-time came to All-Star weekend with one goal in mind: to win.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns achieved that goal on Saturday night in Cleveland, winning the 2022 NBA All-Star 3-Point Shooting Contest in historic fashion. His final round score of 29 set the record for the best round in finals history, eclipsing the previous mark of 28.
The most points EVER in a final round.
That man is different.@KarlTowns
