Out of breath and sweating from his post-practice workout, Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns entered a huddle of media Thursday knowing he had to answer for his performance in Tuesday's play-in victory over the Clippers.
"I'm not tripping at all. In a good space," Towns said. "Just good to get past the last two days and I'm ready to go."
Win or lose, whether he plays well or not, Towns never ducks media obligations when requested to speak and he took time to give his explanation on his out-of-character performance against the Clippers: eleven points, four turnovers and six fouls in 24 minutes. He missed the last 7 minutes, 34 seconds after fouling out.
