SALT LAKE CITY – Karl-Anthony Towns fouled out again in the Timberwolves’ 120-100 loss to the Jazz. Towns committed three offensive fouls, including a flagrant one against Donovan Mitchell, as he exited the game with 4:13 to play.
To interim coach Ryan Saunders, Towns’ foul trouble came about because of his aggressiveness and desire to make something happen late in the game, but said Towns could have avoided some of his fouls.
He added he thought Towns has done a “better job” of avoid foul trouble of late.
“This is a tough defense in a lot of ways and they can definitely frustrate you at times if you’re not going to get to your usual spots on things,” Saunders said.
