What do you remember about Karl-Anthony Towns’ 56-point game against the Atlanta Hawks back in the 2017-18 season?
Maybe you remember where you were, Towns’ clutch, 17 fourth-quarter points or the playoff implications the game had. After Jimmy Butler’s knee injury, the Wolves fell to eighth place in the Western Conference, and in hindsight, we now know one more loss would have resulted in an expanded playoff drought.
And you more than likely know the significance behind the 56 points, which set a new franchise single-game scoring record after topping Mo Williams’ previously-held record of 52 points in a 2015 game against the Pacers.
