Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Karl-Anthony Towns completed another filthy highlight on Sunday at the expense of Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic. In the first quarter of the clash at Target Center, Vucevic tried to rotate quickly to a wide-open Towns at the top of the key.
Considering KAT is one the best 3-point shooting bigs in the league today, Vooch fully committed on his shot block attempt. That proved to be a bad move for the Montenegrin center, as Towns completely fooled him with a devious pump fake.
Adding insult to injury, Vucevic lost his balance on the play as he fell to the floor. Towns just needed two steps to get to the rim, as he skied for a powerful right-handed throwdown.

The Bulls versus Timberwolves match-up on Sunday certainly features a terrific battle between two modern-day bigs. Vucevic and Towns, after all, do have similarities with their games, since both guys can do damage down low and extend the D with their shooting.
However, KAT definitely got the better of Vooch on this play. The Wolves center does have the speed advantage over Vucevic and he completely exposed that advantage early on. For sure, Vooch would be extra careful not to get baited by Towns' pump fakes for the rest of the contest.
