Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-double sas Wolves make playoff push

Towns scored 26 points (12-18 FG, 2-3 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists and a steal across 39 minutes in Friday's 97-84 win over the Mavericks.

Analysis:

Towns is one of the league's most underrated big men, and the Wolves will need nights like these from the second-year pro as they crawl up the standings. He was simply too big for the Mavericks underneath and snagged down rebounds almost at will, and sometimes uncontested. That should come as no surprise as he ranks 5th in the NBA in total rebounds. The Wolves will visit the Rockets on Sunday, where Towns will mostly pair with Clint Capela.
