Wolves Twi-lights: Towns takes off for launch
The big story of the Minnesota Timberwolves' 119-104 win over the Los Angeles Lakers was Ricky Rubio, who sank four 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 32 points.
But quietly behind him -- if 32 points can be called quiet -- was second-year star Karl-Anthony Towns.
Towns threw down a dunk in the first half that sent the Target Center into a frenzy. Watch his slam plus other Timberwolves highlights below:
