Karl-Anthony Towns went for 16 points, 19 rebounds and three blocked shots over 34 minutes in Saturday's 111-97 win against Brooklyn, for his NBA-leading 43rd double-double.
Towns hit 7-of-16 from the field and he also added an assist and a steal. Of his 19 boards, 10 came on the offensive end, giving his team second-chance points in the 14-point win. He and the Timberwolves face a four-game schedule in the upcoming week, including showdowns at Atlanta on Monday and New Orleans on Saturday. The matchup with the Pels is a bit easier now that he won't have DeMarcus Cousins (Achilles) to contend with.
Here the current top double-double rankings (number of triple-double in parenthesis):
1.Karl-Anthony Towns - 43
2.DeMarcus Cousins - 38 (3)
3.Russell Westbrook - 34 (15)
