Karl-Anthony Towns

Equipped with one of the smoothest long-range strokes the NBA has ever seen from a 7-footer, Karl-Anthony Towns found time to turn his consistently-special shooting gifts into something historic against the Charlotte Hornets. With a fellow All-Star counterpart making history of his own 1,000 miles away with a 70-point game of his own, the Minnesota Timberwolves star helped turn January 22, 2024 into the night for unstoppable centers, punishing the opposition with a versatile offensive attack from all over the floor. In a game that seemed to have a special aura from the opening tip, Towns set the backdrop with a 44-point first half on the way to becoming just NBA history’s seventh player to ever record multiple 60-point games. Despite falling just shy of a victory, Towns’ three-level scoring exhibit remained spectacular, as the four-time All-Star finished with 62 points, eight rebounds, two assists, and a whopping 10 3-point makes.
