Thank you, Karl-Anthony Towns.
In his near decade-long career with the Wolves, Towns remained the ultimate professional, loyal to his team, and had a smile on his face during trying times.
He’s also one helluva player.

Only 10 points (4/10 FG, 0/4 3P), but he corralled 13 boards, dished out 5 dimes, made the right reads on offense, never looked flustered, and played terrifically smart defense on Jokić.
