Summary

On today’s show, we get into Karl-Anthony Towns’ 60-point performance in San Antonio on Monday and discuss how KAT is aggressively making his case to be on one of the All NBA teams. With making an All NBA team comes the ability for KAT to sign a 4-year, $200 million contract extension this summer. So we also dig into what that contract would look like if he qualifies — and why that should be what Wolves fans are cheering for, even if it comes with a higher annual price tag. — KAT goes off for 60, highlighted by a 32-point third quarter — Why KAT making All NBA this season and signing a supermax contract is the best-case scenario for the Wolves in the long-term clarity it would provide — The correlation between KAT good games and Anthony Edwards having quiet games — Why D’Angelo Russell thinks the Wolves needed to lose that game in Orlando that broke up the winning streak — Relishing in how big of a deal it is that the Wolves have the No. 1 offense in the NBA since January 1st Learn more about your ad choices.

0:21.6	by 10 final score Wolves 149 spurs 139 that was with no overtime a combined 288 points
0:29.7	scored in 48 minutes obviously the story of the night in this one was that 60 of those 288
0:36.6	points came from Carl Anthony Towns, 14 points in the first quarter, another 10 in the second.
