With the Wolves in desperate need for a win in the thick of a crazy Western Conference playoff race, Karl-Anthony Towns came to play in the first half against the Hawks on Wednesday night at Target Center.
Towns finished with the first half with 26 points, four rebounds and two assists. He shot an efficient 10-for-14 from the field, 3-for-3 from the 3-point line and 3-for-3 from the free-throw line.
