Karl-Anthony Towns, Who Is Awesome, Did A Bunch Of Cool Shit Last Night

I’m sort of embarrassed at how little we’ve talked about Karl-Anthony Towns on this here website.

Towns finished last night’s game with 19 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks. He went for 27-11 against the Cavs on Monday, and he hit the the Mavericks with an absurd 27-17 to go along with six blocks last Wednesday. Also:

He’s pretty good!
