The 4 Best NBA Performances From Last Week: Paul George Destroys the Hornets

2. Karl-Anthony Towns vs. Washington Wizards

Obviously, Monday was the night for big-time performances. To start out his week, Karl-Anthony Towns was even better than those before him. Across 35 minutes, he led the Minnesota Timberwolves with 39 points and 13 rebounds in a 119-104 win over the Washington Wizards.

Towns connected on 17 of 26 shots, including 2 of 4 from three, en route to an offensive rating of 145.8 and a true shooting of 71.4%. Towns used 33.8% of Minnesota's possessions while on the floor, but was also solid on defense in allowing 101.7 points per 100 possessions.

Towns' 56.20 nERD made for a perfect performance -- only one of many this season.
