“Karl [Anthony-Towns] was fantastic. He drove it. He shot it. He always plays hard. He's a hell of a player. It's not like it was a surprise. Tonight, he was special. So, give him credit. We had a hard time with him for sure," said Gregg Popovich.
"It's about stops. We know we can score the ball. We're in the NBA but we got to string together stops. That's how you win tough games with an offensive team [Minnesota] like that. Obviously, we couldn't get stops. That was the downfall," said Johnson.
"He [Towns] made tough shots. A talented player. I'm a big fan of his game. I don't have too much to say. He had a great night and that's that," Murray said. "I trust all my teammates. It's not just Keldon Johnson. I trust everybody. That's my style of game."
