Former Wildcats go wild
Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein has referred to Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns as “Little Bro” from their season together at Kentucky.
There was nothing little about either big man’s game Friday.
Each of the former Wildcats lit up the scoreboard, especially Little Bro. Towns had 29 points at halftime and finished with 39 points and 19 rebounds. Cauley-Stein shot better than Towns, finishing with 25 points while going 11 for 16 from the field, including just the fourth 3-pointer of his career.
