Karl-Anthony Towns played for the first time against the Wolves

If there’s one paper we never thought we’d be writing one day, or at least not soon, it’s this one. Karl-Anthony Towns played the first game of his career AGAINST the Timberwolves last night. Nothing scares him, though, since KAT KAT did it.

That’s it, it’s done. For those who still have trouble believing it, now there is no doubt. Karl-Anthony Towns is actually a New York Knicks player. Plus, the pivot was dressed last night to face… Minnesota. Yes, KAT did against his former team. The chance to show that his story with the Timberwolves is over, at least for now. The opportunity to also remind his teammates that they will no doubt miss his presence. If Towns didn’t have the best evening in terms of percentage, he still finished with a solid double-double: 16 points and 16 rebounds, with 3 steals. It’s not bad, even if we’re still in pre-season.

Come on, we’re nice here and we won’t forget anyone, a little word about Donte DiVincenzo, who was also meeting his old friends. True to his time under New York colors, DDV did what he does best: make big 3-pointers. The former Wildcat finished the game with 15 points and 7 assists, all in 27 minutes. Very clean as you will have noticed, and it can also be seen, because the back didn’t hesitate to talk a little on the Knicks bench. Here, even higher, DDV even fell out with Jalen Brunson’s fatherRick, assistant in New York.

Finally, and because these questions are probably torturing your entire mind. No, Julius Randle didn’t play, and yes, the Knicks ended up winning (115-110) in a game of incredible intensity, especially for the preseason. Meanwhile, Anthony Edwards may not rhyme with intensity, but it’s just like once on the field. Ant played a very sick game (31 points, 8/13 from distance), sometimes with the defense of a man in possession, so he proved that he is ready for the upcoming season. Either way, this small start to the rivalry between the Knicks and Timberwolves looks pretty cool, and we can’t wait to see them beat each other again when the stakes are higher .
