Karl-Anthony Towns’s former teammate Anthony Edwards couldn’t help but be happy to some degree despite a blowout loss on Thursday.

Towns led a dominant victory for the New York Knicks, 133–107, against his old team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, in his first game back. Minnesota traded him to the Knicks in the offseason after he and Edwards led the Wolves to the Western Conference Finals in June.
