ESPN Stats & Info
Karl-Anthony Towns is an absolute monster on the basketball court. In just his second season in the NBA, Towns is already one of the best players in the league. Last night, he showed just exactly what he is capable of when he’s got it going. A career high in points and the second highest rebound total of his career, but it wasn’t enough to bring home a W for the Timberwolves.

We could write this whole post on Towns’ highlights, but we’ll condense it to a few. Got to start with the dunk from the picture above.

Should probably not try to guard KAT with a Plumlee. Just saying.
This fabulous spinning jump hook by Karl-Anthony Towns gives him a new career high of 36 points. #BBN #Wolves pic.twitter.com/7l581BdLuA

Don’t forget, Towns is a good defender too.

Harrison is finally earning some more minutes in Memphis due to an injury to Mike Conley. And he took advantage last night for sure.

While you weren’t paying attention, Patrick Patterson went out and turned himself into a really, really solid stretch four.

Add another 3 for Patterson, giving him his first double-double of the season.

The Suns Twitter account was even prompted to tweet this after a few smooth jumpers from Knight in a row.

I don’t think there are many former UK guys that I think look as smooth with the ball as Devin Booker does.

And his jumper. Wow. Smooth as the Rockies.

Tyler Ulis, Phoenix Suns (DNP in 109-107 win over Hawks)
The cluster of experienced guards on the Phoenix roster is making it hard for Ulis to see quality playing time on a regular basis.
