In the first half against the Pelicans, Timberwolves All-Star forward Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
That’s what they call a “double-double” in the business.
Maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise considering Towns went into the game with a league-leading 46 double-doubles.
Per our stats guru Swanny, it was Towns’ third first-half double-double of the season and seventh double-double in any half overall. In his career, he has 29 such games which means that in 13 percent of his games, Towns will have a double-double in a given half alone. That’s pretty remarkable.
