Takeaways From Karl-Anthony Towns’ Return to the Wolves’ Lineup
Photo by David Berding/Getty ImagesThe Minnesota Timberwolves’ win over the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night was a crucial one as they battle for positioning in the Western Conference. But getting a clutch win and moving into the No. 7 seed wasn’t even the most important development of the night.
That would, of course, be the return of Karl-Anthony Towns to the lineup. In his first night back on the court after missing 52 games due to a right calf strain, Towns scored 22 points, was a team-best plus-13 and hit the tying and go-ahead free throws in the final seconds of the 125-124 victory.
