NBA – Awkward for his return after 18 missed games, the interior contributed to the significant success of the Wolves against the Hawks.
He raised his hand to the sky to indicate that he was the author of the tap dance. And probably also to point out, by scoring the first basket of the match for the Wolves, that he was back after a long period of absence. Knee surgery, Karl-Anthony Towns had just missed his team’s last 18 games.
The Minnesota interior played again last night against the Hawks. A return without brilliance, with 11 points for as many shots attempted (4/11 including 1/6 from distance), but 8 assists and 5 rebounds in 28 minutes of play.
« I studied these guys. They play so well. I didn’t want to mess anything up, keep the ball rolling », summarizes the giant, displaying his complicity after the meeting with Rudy Gobert, the man of this meeting.
A convalescence to observe
A complicity also visible in the game, like his magnificent offering delivered, over the shoulder, at the very start of the match for a dunk from the Frenchman. “ Having had so much time to observe this team and see it from another perspective has allowed me to fully understand what I can do on the field to help this team and have the most impact on it as possible.
», he adds.
Throughout the evening, KAT had difficulty punishing, especially from afar. But on a fixation and a laser pass from Anthony Edwards, he converted a very important 3-point basket to restore a point lead to his team, with a little over two minutes to play.
« My shots didn’t fit, I needed to get one in and I’m happy I was able to convert the one I needed. The next match will be a different story », Promises the inside while looking ahead to the last match of the year against the Suns.
We recall that in his absence over this sequence of 18 matches, the Wolves maintained their momentum with 12 victories for 6 defeats. Obtaining first place in the West remains relevant, even if Towns’ teammates are not masters of their destiny.
