Minnesota Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns on Sunday became the fourth player in league history to score at least 50 points in the NBA All-Star Game. His 50 points on 23/35 shooting tied Stephen Curry (2022) for third-most in the game’s history, trailing only Jayson Tatum (55 in 2023) and Anthony Davis (52 in 2017).
50-PIECE.
