In the 3rd quarter itself, he scored 32 points. It is the highest a player has ever scored in a single quarter in the history of the game.

He scored 19/31 from the field while chunking up 7 three-pointers. In the game he showed everyone he is the best shooting big this league has ever seen.

With KAT playing like that and other players also playing well alongside him, this TWolves team can really make some noise come playoff time.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are going to make the playoffs and be a hard out for any team they play against! That Pat Bev leadership got Towns playing like an MVP candidate! Already got a 50 piece and counting. Don’t mind me tho and Carry on…
