Jaden McDaniels send strong 9-word message to Timberwolves Star After Big Showing

The Minnesota Timberwolves came back strongly on Saturday, defeating the New Orleans Pelicans 121-120.

This victory improved the team’s record to 9-3, tying them with the reigning champions for the best record in the Western Conference.

Jaden McDaniels was eager to speak with Bally Sports North after the game about his friend, Karl-Anthony Towns.

 

"He's unguardable when he's in his bag."

“He’s unguardable when he’s in his bag,” McDaniels remarked following Towns’ performance.

“When Kat’s hot, he can go far,” he continued.

Towns had a scorching performance on Saturday, finishing with 29 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists.

This season, the 28-year-old big man has been outstanding, averaging 21.7 points, 9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists.

 

 

After missing the majority of last season, Towns has returned with a clear determination to make a statement and help his team achieve great things.

If the Timberwolves continue on this path, they will undergo one of the most significant makeovers of the season.

Last season, they went 42-40, received the eighth seed, and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

They appear to be a completely different team this year.

Not only is Towns leading the effort in Minnesota, but so are Rudy Gobert, Anthony Edwards, McDaniels, and others.

On Saturday, Gobert had a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds, Edwards had 23 points, and McDaniels had 12.

The entire team appears to be back on track, making last season seem like a distant, practically forgotten past.

They’ve risen to the top of the standings, but can they maintain their position?

There is no reason to assume this streak will end if Towns continues to play as well as the rest of the team.
