Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins' big night on Wednesday against his former team included a couple of nasty highlights. The former first overall pick put his former teammate Karl-Anthony Towns in not one, but two epic posters as the Warriors rolled past the Minnesota Timberwolves 123-110.
After the game, Wiggins had a laugh at Towns' expense. When asked which of his highlights against Minnesota he enjoyed, the Canadian had this to say:
“I don't know. I like them both, they're both on KAT,” Wiggins said with a healthy chuckle (via Jason Dumas of Bleacher Report).

Aside from those impressive NBA Top Shot-worthy plays, Wiggins also ended with a team-high of 35 points to lead the Warriors to their 10th win of the season. Wiggins did mention after the game that this game wasn't at all personal for him. According to the 26-year-old he simply played well and had fun out there.
“No, not a revenge game,” Wiggins said (via Rusty Summons of The San Francisco Chronicle). “A well-played game against a former team. A fun game,”

The Warriors have nothing but trust in Andrew Wiggins. Despite not playing the best basketball in his career in his time in Golden State so far, the shooting guard has found his niche under head coach Steve Kerr and is slowly turning out to be the consistent scorer the Warriors need right now.
With Stephen Curry leading the way and guys like Jordan Poole and Damion Lee also adding to the cause, Wiggins has managed to make a mark this season, and plays like these remind us all of what Wiggins is truly capable of.
