Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Karl-Anthony Towns hammered down an explosive one-handed jam during the Minnesota Timberwolves' loss to the Denver Nuggets.
The slam came with 1:28 remaining in the Nuggets' 103-101 victory on Wednesday at Target Center in Minneapolis. Towns received a short pass from Derrick Rose while hovering behind the 3-point line on the play.
He caught the ball and faked out Mason Plumlee before sprinting into the paint. Towns picked up his dribble and lifted off over a stationary Paul Millsap. He pulled the ball back in his right hand before swinging it forward and jamming it down with authority, sending Millsap to the floor.
Towns scored a team-high 22 points and had seven rebounds in the loss. Millsap netted a game-high 25 points for the Nuggets. Denver big man Nikola Jokic had seven points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the win.
