In 1975, the Hall of Famer went for 35 points, 19 rebounds, nine assists and eight blocks in a win for the LA Lakers over the Suns.

Equally impressive was Towns' impact in the fourth quarter when the Heat cut the Timberwolves lead to two.

Towns, who scored 10 points in the final quarter, made a hook shot, then a three-point play and a 3-pointer to put Minnesota back in command.
