Karl-Anthony Towns's 41 points helped spoil Paul George's return to the Thunder lineup.
MINNEAPOLIS — Karl-Anthony Towns is putting up impressive offensive numbers. All he cares about, though, are wins.
"You can have all the numbers you want, but you don’t ever want to be the guy that’s getting good stats on a losing team," Towns said. "We’ve got to find ways to win. I’d rather have less stats and have more wins than to do what I’ve been doing recently." Derrick Rose added 19 points and Andrew Wiggins scored 18 for Minnesota, which began the night six games out of a playoff spot.George was back on the court after missing three games with a right shoulder injury. He scored 25 points but was 8 of 25 from the field, including 4 for 14 from 3-point range.
After picking up two fouls early in the first quarter, Towns got hot in the second. He scored six straight Timberwolves points and finished the half with 15.
