While my main accomplishment last night was branching out and trying a new sushi roll,
Karl Towns was doing real work, putting up a career-high 35 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks in the Timberwolves' 117-112 win over the Raptors.
As that nifty little graphic tells you, Karl's now the third youngest player to have 35 points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks in one game behind Kevin Durant and LeBron James. That's just one of many historic milestones Karl's reaching these days. Last night's double-double was his eighth straight and 30th of the season. Over the last 12 games, Karl's averaging 22.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks, absurd numbers that make him a clear favorite for Rookie of the Year.
Some highlights:

I need to see this dunk again:

In true Karl fashion,
when asked if his production as of late surprises him, he only had criticism for himself.
“I do surprise myself sometimes. Missing two free throws, missing open jump shots."
Oh, Karl. Never change.
