Sacrificing statistics, Karl-Anthony Towns rides selflessness to All-Star Game

Karl-Anthony Towns will take the floor Sunday in his third All-Star Game with numbers that aren't much different from the numbers he put up the last two seasons when he didn't make the game.

So why will Towns be playing Sunday night?

One, the Wolves are winning this season and sit in the No. 7 seed entering the final 23 games of the season. But going beyond that, one of the reasons the Wolves are winning this season is because Towns has done whatever the Wolves have asked him.

"One of the things I'm realizing, especially in these recent games, is just how much I'm letting the game come to me," Towns said earlier this month.
