Karl-Anthony Towns puts Dominican Republic on his back with his finest FIBA World Cup performance, but his effort goes for naught in a sorry loss to Puerto Rico
MANILA, Philippines – There is not much else to ask from Karl-Anthony Towns after he turned in his finest FIBA World Cup performance, but the NBA star feels otherwise.
Putting the team on his back, Towns churned out 39 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks, but his effort went for naught as the Dominicans slipped to 3-1 and figured in a four-way tie in Group I with Serbia, Italy, and Puerto Rico.“My guys played great. We played as a team. I got to do more. The guys were great, my teammates played great, did everything they needed to do. I got to do a little more,” said Towns.
“I did not do my job,” said Towns. “I have to do whatever it takes to get my country a win, and obviously, I did not do enough today. My teammates were fantastic. Tough way to lose. I got to do more.”
