10. KAT drops 33 and 23 on Grizzlies

Honestly, it wouldn’t be entirely inexcusable to completely fill up a slideshow like this with Karl-Anthony Towns highlights. The guy is that good.

Exhibit one: his domination of the Memphis Grizzlies on March 23, when he put up 33 points on just 20 shots and pulled down 23 rebounds. The level of versatility in this clip is what keeps people like ESPN’s Zach Lowe raving about Towns’ potential.

Towns also had a game-winner against Memphis on Jan. 30, although his stat line in that game was much more pedestrian than the March outing. The 33-23 game was the third 30-20 game KAT has had on the road in his career, which is already the most in Timberwolves history — a notable stat considering the tenures of Kevin Garnett and Kevin Love.

For as great a game as it was though, both the Timberwolves and Grizzlies were long out of the playoff race for this game, which diminishes its importance.
