At the end of December and beginning of the new year, Karl-Anthony Towns was on one of the best runs of his career. From December 28 to January 12, the big man averaged 28.3 points and 16.2 rebounds and added 4.0 assists and 3.1 blocks.
However, things were not as rosy in Philly and against San Antonio. Towns struggled with foul trouble and seemed to be in a mini slump. On Sunday against the Suns, Towns was back in a big way.
We don’t need to blow things out of proportion—the Suns, playing without talented rookie center Deandre Ayton, didn’t have a clear choice on their roster to match up with Towns—but one of the marks of a consistent superstar is to take it to the opposition when you have a favorable matchup.
