If you’ve ever had to manage people, you might be familiar with the term “compliment sandwich” — a method of delivering constructive feedback whereby something that could be construed as negative is sandwiched between two things that are positive.
The Timberwolves, it seems, had themselves a compliment sandwich kind of weekend when it comes to star Karl-Anthony Towns.
The good news: Towns returned Friday from a 15-game absence, playing back-to-back games and generally looking like himself with a little predictable rust. And after Friday’s game at Indiana, Towns declared in rather firm terms that he is happy being with the Timberwolves and dedicated to building a winning team in Minnesota.
