Ahead of the game against the Spurs, the Timberwolves had just beaten the Eastern Conference powerhouse Heat on the road in their last game, and they had lost just one of their last eight games, and morale was high. For Towns, he was affected by multiple fouls in the last game, playing just 25 minutes and scoring just 15 points on 4-of-9 shooting. His number one substitute, Reid, will be absent from the game in this game, so this is a good opportunity for Towns to prove himself.

In the first quarter of the game, the Timberwolves were in hot form early, building a lead through a three-point rain and playing 7-0 in the final period, leading by eight points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Spurs began to enter the scoring mode, at one point equalizing the score, but the Timberwolves blossomed more at the end of the quarter and still maintained the lead. Yi Bian fought again, and in the third quarter of the game, the storm suddenly changed, and Downs was able to shoot everything, helping the team establish a double-digit lead. In the final quarter, although the Spurs were still chasing points, they still struggled to narrow the point gap to single digits, and finally the Timberwolves defeated their opponents 149:139 to win two consecutive games.

The timberwolves were able to win this game, and the main reason for this game is undoubtedly Towns, who played the best game of his career so far. In this game, Towns played 36 minutes, had made 31 shots, and hit 19 of them, including 7 of 11 three-pointers, in addition to 16 free throws, 15 of 16 free throws, crazy cut a career-high 60 points, in addition to grabbing 17 rebounds, almost single-handedly broke the Spurs' interior line, and helped the team to win, Towns is also the first center after O'Neal to play 60+10.

In the first quarter of the game, Towns was already in full swing, constantly attacking the inside line, and also hit three-pointers, cutting 14 points and 5 rebounds on 5-of-8 shooting in a single quarter to help the team take the lead early. In the second quarter, Downs's offensive desire was still strong, and he scored 10 points on the inside line. And when the Spurs wrapped it up, he was also able to pass the ball out in time to help his teammates score. With 24 points already cut in the first half, Downs' performance in this game has actually just begun, and he entered the second half and played in an even more incredible state.

In the third quarter of the game, Towns was like a god, shooting 9 of 13 in a single quarter, including 6 of 5 three-pointers, in addition to hitting 9 free throws, and cutting 32 points in a single quarter, and personal scoring also reached a career high of 56 points. In this quarter, Towns on the inside was still unstoppable, and even if the Spurs took a targeted defense against him, he could score the ball tough. In addition, Downs's outside feel can only be described as hot in this quarter, with five three-pointers hit in a single quarter, including a soft back-stepping three-pointer in the bottom corner, helping the team establish a double-digit lead.

In the final quarter of the game, affected by too many personal fouls, Towns only played 3 minutes in a single quarter, only got 4 points and 3 rebounds, and the highest score of his career was finally fixed at 60 points. Although Towns did not score high in this quarter, with the last minute or so left in the game, Towns faced the opponent's defense at the top of the arc, directly shot a long-range three-pointer and hit steadily, helping the team completely lock in the victory. In fact, if it weren't for the excessive fouls in the final quarter, Downs would undoubtedly have been able to hit higher scores in this game, even reaching a single 70+ or 80+ score.

The game was the most classic game of Towns' career, and he also set a series of records with 60 points and 17 rebounds in a single game. First, Towns' 60 points is the first time the league has scored 60+ points in a single game so far this season, thus becoming the holder of the highest single score this season. Second, according to statistics, Towns is the third center in NBA history to be able to cut at least 60 points and 15 rebounds in a single game, the first two being Chamberlain and O'Neal. With the crazy battle of this battle, Towns has been able to compete with the two famous players in history. Again, Towns became the first player in history to score 60 points, 17 rebounds and hit seven three-pointers in a single game.

Downs has fully demonstrated the technical characteristics of his career, and he is undoubtedly one of the most comprehensive interior players in the league. On the one hand, Towns' interior attack is extremely sharp, both through excellent footing skills to shake off opponents on the inside, but also through tough physical fitness to complete the strong score. On the other hand, Towns is arguably the most gentle shooting player in the league at present, whether it is a mid-range shot or an outside three-pointer, he can do it with ease, and often can do what a defender can do, which makes many defenders have nothing to do about it.

This campaign also allowed Towns to prove himself perfectly, before this game, although Towns has entered the All-Star team many times, due to the Timberwolves' long-term failure to reach the playoffs, and in many cases not being tough enough, many fans and media have questioned it. However, in this game, Downs proved himself to be a very tough inside line. When he is willing to play the inside, it is almost impossible for a player in the league to defend Downs, not to mention that Towns also has a very good field of vision, and when opponents wrap it up, he is often able to find teammates in empty positions.

After the game, Towns also built up a strong self-confidence, and Downs, an interviewer, said he didn't think anyone in the league could defend him one-on-one. In terms of personal performance, so far this season, Towns has averaged 24.8 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 52.9% from the field and 40.8% from three-point range, and has once again been named to the All-Star Team. In terms of leading the team,with not many games left, the Timberwolves have almost locked in the seventh record in the West, which is very different from them a few seasons ago.

However, it is important to note that even if the Timberwolves have locked up the seventh place in the West, this does not mean that they have entered the ranks of the playoffs, after all, they still need to participate in the playoffs to decide. So if they want to return to the playoffs this season, Towns and the Timberwolves have to do more.
