Towns accumulated 62 points (21-35 FG, 10-15 3Pt, 10-14 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to the Hornets.
Towns was red hot despite the loss, scoring 44 of his career-high 62 points in the first half. He went 10-for-15 from the perimeter, also a career-high mark. While this was a statement performance for Towns, it was a terrible loss for the Timberwolves. They will look to get back on track in what should be another favorable matchup against the Wizards on Wednesday.
