Karl-Anthony Towns' monster game leads Wolves over Sacramento

Until Thursday at Target Center, the only player in Timberwolves history who ever reached 25 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five blocks in a game was, of course, Kevin Garnett.

Wolves young star center Karl-Anthony Towns joined him with Thursday’s 119-96 victory over Sacramento.

Towns reached those thresholds with a 30-point, 14-rebound, five-assist, five-block game on a night when the Wolves led by as many as 27 points and finished the game with little-used reserves Marcus Georges-Hunt, Cole Aldrich, Aaron Brooks and others on the floor.

The 23-point victory was one point shy of their largest margin of victory this season.
