Karl-Anthony Towns put together a noteworthy game on February 22, shortly after receiving a strong vote of confidence from NBA coach Mike Brown.
Before tip-off, Brown stated that Towns is “where he should be,” signaling firm belief in the 28-year-old All-Star’s current role. Hours later, Towns responded on the court with what team officials described as a “big night,” powering his club on both ends and drawing chants from the home crowd.
Specific statistics from the matchup were not immediately available, but teammates credited the forward-center’s early energy for setting the tone. “When KAT comes out like that, everything flows,” one locker-room source said after the final buzzer.
Brown’s endorsement follows weeks of outside speculation about Towns’ fit in the lineup. The coach’s public support, coupled with Tuesday’s performance, appears to have quieted those questions for now.
