Karl-Anthony Towns, the former Minnesota Timberwolves star, returned to his old stomping grounds and led the New York Knicks to a dominant 133-107 victory over the Timberwolves. Towns, who spent nine years in Minnesota, had a stellar night with 32 points, 20 rebounds, and 6 assists. The game was a blowout from the start, with the Knicks leading by at least 20 points for the final 31 minutes.

Julius Randle, who was traded to the Timberwolves from the Knicks, tried to make a statement but fizzled out after a strong first quarter. He finished with 24 points but struggled in the latter parts of the game. The Knicks' new additions, Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson, also played significant roles in the win. Bridges scored 29 points, while Brunson chipped in 14 points and 7 assists.

The Knicks' coach, Tom Thibodeau, even emptied his bench early due to the comfortable lead. The game was a clear display of the Knicks' superior performance, as they outscored the Timberwolves in every aspect of the game. Towns described the game as more than just another match, emphasizing its emotional significance for him.
