How Karl Anthony Towns 62 Points Got Him Benched

This diva scored all those points just to lose. Kat want to be in the WNBA so bad 😂.

he didn't care, he wanted 70 even if it's a loss. Not your franchise player.

Yeah you dont bench the leading scorer... that is not good caching

KAT playing my career out here

KAT: imma get mine
loses to one of the worst teams in the league

ya looking at the tape, this has got to be the worst 60+ point performance in NBA history.

kat has been pretty decent on defense this season idk about post season though

It's the constant complaining that gets me with players in the league today.
Every player complains after everything.
What happened to just focusing on the game instead of getting in your feelings over a call the refs didn't make?
Play through the bad calls.

tbf the coach also fucked up, the townsless rotations he put out were getting routinely cooked.

Y’all cannot WAIT to write off the wolves. It’s actually crazy 😂

Bro, I am obsessed with that charlotte announcer lol

This was always my critiques of KAT. He never plays winning basketball

ball walking around flat footed a lot

I know im not the only one who thinks KAT tries to be something he's not, Because he doesn't get the recognition like joker or embiid. Okay you can shoot threes but he had the IQ of a goofball.

This is a perfect example of why stats aren't everything. 10 years from now, people will look at this (assuming people still know who KAT is) and say wow, KAT went off, what a game, what a performance! Everyone else didn't show up, he had no help, etc.

People look at stats from old games with ZERO CONTEXT and think it tells the whole story. It will never make sense and people like that will always be ignorant.

Geez, maybe KAT was tired after playing 1 vs 5 for half the game. Trade him to a real franchise because the T-wolves are a waste of everyone's time.

Wow you people are really running a marathon with this nonsense. DEVIN BOOKER has 2 60+ point games with losses.
Difference is...
HIS COACH DIDN'T THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS.

Damn if this guy coached Kobe when he scored 81 he would have cut him from the team.

I don't get how anyone expected the Timberwolves to be good as soon that Rudy trade i thought "they got worse" because they 2 big men who aren't really that agile Rudy not good on offense KAT not good at defense they are good to great individually but together they are eh

a ton of respect for the coach, it takes balls to do something like this

it’s cool to score a lot of points, but you HAVE to be able to defend effectively. if you score 60 and never effect a shot, make a block or a steal, your 60 points it 100% meaningless

Soft as charmin tissue. I’ll never forget when he tried to back down boogie cousins & boogie stood there like get yo weak ass outta here

Watching how KAT played makes me appreciate Joker's game more...

Soo feastables sponsors the Timberwolves ?

I'd never heard of this coach before this incident, but now he is my NBA fave. For the absolute life of me, I don't know how coaches/GMs/owners tolerate giving money to guys who give less effort than your average mouthy guy in a pick-up game ...

This is why KAT will never be a true leader. He too emotionally immature.

Shoutout the Hornets announcers yet again. They genuinely love the game of basketball and will always celebrate both sides

The coaches need to be fired. How do they let this happen.

Didn’t Jimmy tell us about KAT year’s ago?

To me, Katt is too lazy and weak-minded. Wolves aren't going anywhere.

The title 😂😂😂

That was the same night Embid dropped 70, KAT definitely got wind of that and kept gunning to break 70.

Final 2 minutes report said there was 11 missed calls. 8 of the missed calls would have favored the wolves… towns gets both arms slapped on the last play

Such an unserious player and franchise

Time to request a trade 🤷🏽‍♂️

Towns is the julius randle of the western conference both are extremely talented and dominant when they're on one but both are mentally and emotionally fragile so it's tough to fully entrust them as second options on a serious contending team

Just because you’re having a good scoring night doesn’t mean you need to take all the shots. Lebron could’ve been doing this all along but he knows he has to get his teammates involved as well. Almost every superstar can have a game like this if they wanted to, but would that really lead to a win every single time? KAT forgot what was making the timberwolves so good all along and thought he could be Kobe, and in the process sold what should’ve been an easy Home win for the number 1 seed

How you can be 7 feet tall but so bad at defense is mind boggling

At least he's mature about diet 🤣🤣🤣🤣

KAT has been that way since Jimmy was there. Nothing’s changed. They improved because they had to get a center (Rudy) and they got Ant Man. KAT’s like most new 7 footers now that think they’re guards. Just not understanding how to play winning basketball.

Jimmy called it years ago

And explains why Jimmy had beef with KAT. All that talent wrapped around a shell of immaturity.

No team is worried about the timberwolves in the playoffs lol

naw, if im a coach i don't bench the guy who is shooting well. He finished with like 10 3s going 21/35. Everyone talks about efficiency and shooting poorly, he shot it well. Maybe the coach is just shit.

Their iq is still trash. They are talented but not smart

Reason why heroball fell to the wayside

You can score a bad 62 points
