For those who watched, this should come as no surprise. Towns finished the week with per-game averages of 32.0 points, 13.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.0 blocks. Whew. He led Minnesota to a surprising 3-0 start, and posted those raw numbers by shooting over 50% from the field and behind the three-point line.
