Impressive NBA star stats have already become a routine thing, but a single show like the one provided by Carl Anthony Towns tonight (Monday through Tuesday) league fans have yet to see this season.

The talented Minnesota chin reminded everyone in a 139: 149 victory why he is considered one of the most promising players in the league, and threatens to become the most complete chin in the league.

He had 60 points and 17 rebounds, on an evening that broke quite a few records.

First, he set a player’s points record in a single game this season;

Second, he became the first player in league history to reach 60 points and 15 rebounds with over 60 percent of the three;

For the first chin since Shaquille O'Neal in March 2000 scoring 60 points;

The fifth player ever to reach 60 points and 15 rebounds per game (along with Michael Jordan, Carl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal and James Harden; the third quarter in which he scored 32 points, was the fourth most prolific in history;

And all with impressive efficiency, with 19 of 31 from the field, 7 of 11 from three, shattering his career record (56, set for March 2018) and the club record.

"I said to the coach before the game, 'Listen, I want to do everything to win this game. I'll do whatever it takes - if I have to play 48 minutes, I'm ready for it," Towns said at the end.

"I came in with a sharp and clear attitude that I need to be dominant, that I need to give my best tonight."

Greg Popovich, who watched from the sidelines in the Towns, also defeated him, praising at the end.

"Carl was fantastic. He penetrated, he scored from the outside, he played hard at any given moment. He's a piece of a player. It's not surprising, but tonight he was special."

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch was also delighted that "everything San Antonio did not try to do in front of him did not help her. She had no answers. We needed him, and he rose to prominence. I think people sometimes forget how talented he is, but today they have seen how much. He is special. "

After 1,005 days, it happened: Stephen Kerry, Clay Thompson and Raymond Green spent time together on the hardwood floor, at the Golden State Championship season reunion show.

It ended in the Warriors' 112: 126 victory over Washington, which gave a lot of hope and enthusiasm for the sequel.

Green returned from injury after two months and fitted in well with his good friends, with the blind coordination between the trio unharmed and noticeable from the first moment.

Green, who is recovering from a lower back injury, came off the bench and finished the 20 minutes the Golden State medical team allowed him with 6 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

Already during his first on the field, Steph Kerry deposited the ball in his hands to run the game, and it ended in a Kerry three-pointer.

"He threw me straight into the deep water, and I thank him for that because it allowed me to get into things right away," Green said.

"There's one thing I did not forget in all this time, and that is how to find him in the right places for shooting. I just know how to hand him the ball."

Kerry took advantage of the right-hander’s comeback to record his best game of the season, with 47 points including 7 threes that he all scored while Green was on the field.

In fact, Kerry scored 41 of his points while Raymond was on the floor.

"Obviously there's a connection between things, 100 percent," Steve Kerr said when asked if Green's comeback contributed to Kerry's performance.

"For Steph, everything changed as soon as Drey came back. The chess pieces just look different when he's on the floor, everything looks and feels different."

Together again.

Green explained that he felt frustrated when he was disabled, and saw quite a few situations where other players could have entered Kerry but did not excel in a field like his.

"He's the best shot we've ever seen, but he still needs to get the right block and find him in the right places to make sure his shots get in. Steph knows how to score the hardest shots there are, but when he also gets a few more open looks into the basket, it helps him get in. To pace. "

"We have chemistry and blind understanding, especially when I'm not holding the ball," Kerry says.

"We played 10 years together, it should come as no surprise to anyone. Drymond is an artist in influencing the game without taking a lot of shots. His reading of moves is amazing, both when he is on the moral standard and when he is on the blocking standard. "He's in the right place. He's been doing it for years, and it's really helping me and Clay to get free for our shots."

Green sharpens the point, explaining that the trio - he, Kerry and Clay Thompson - are violating each other.

"Everyone says, 'There is no Drymond without Steph,' and that's 100 percent true. On the other hand, there is no Steph without Clay and Drymond," he says.

"We are aware of this, and understand that we are dependent on Ahgad Shani. That is why we have been able to create such an amazing friendship and partnership for more than 10 years."

Tonight's exciting scenes came from Philadelphia, where the Nuggets defeated the Sixers 110: 115.

All attention was drawn to the chin duel between Joel Ambide and Nikola Jukic, but the one who stole the show was Bones Hill, Denver's anonymous rookie, who excelled in the game against the team from his hometown.

Hilland, the 26th pick in the final draft, sniped 21 points including four critical threes in the fourth quarter, and the spotlight was suddenly turned on him and his unique life story.

Nearly four years ago, Hilland's basketball career was nearly cut short before it began, when the building in which he lived in the city of Wilmington in Delaware went up in flames.

Hilland was resourceful as he tried to escape the fire, and jumped from the second floor of the building directly to firefighters and rescue crews who arrived at the scene.

He injured his right foot and was doubtful he would be able to return to the pitches, but since regaining consciousness, he came to VCU College and became a household name among the league's scouts.

Closing the perfect circle.

Tonight, in front of the firefighters who saved his life and came to watch him from the stands, he recorded his record game in the NBA.

"Before every game I make sure to thank God I'm on the court. Only four years ago the doctors told me I could never play basketball, so I know how to appreciate every moment," he said.

"Returning to the area where I grew up and excelling in that way is a dream come true," Hilland admits.

"Seeing the pains that saved him in the stands moved me greatly. It gave me a lot of strength, and I do not take it for granted."
