6 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns scored 25 points, grabbed 18 caroms, doled out seven assists, blocked a shot and came away with two steals in Tuesday's victory over the Suns. The 23-year-old was 10-for-15 from the field, 2-for-4 from the three-point line and 3-for-5 from the free throw line. He did almost all of his work in the first half, tallying nine points in the opening quarter and then chipped in 11during the second stanza as he registered his 30th double-double of the season by halftime with 20 points along with 11 rebounds. The game marked his 11th game this season with at least 15 rebounds while the seven assists tied a season high. Towns, who is having his most productive month of the campaign, will look to top the 20-point plateau for the 10th time in 11 January outings against the Lakers on Thursday. The fourth-year pro has compiled two double-doubles in three games versus Lakers, collecting 22 points along with 14.3 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, 1.3 steals, 3.3 assists, and 3.7 blocks in the contests.--Daniel Benjamin
