Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Monster double-double in Saturday loss

Towns totaled 37 points (16-24 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 22 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 37 minutes in Saturday's 142-130 loss to the Rockets.

Analysis:

Towns abused the Rockets in the paint throughout the night, easily tallying his third straight double-double and hauling in a career high amount of rebounds in the process. Towns has been outstanding on the glass all season but particularly effective in the last three games, averaging 19.6 boards during that stretch. He's also put up less than 15 shot attempts only twice in 11 February contests, and naturally serves as an elite option in all formats.
