Towns closed with 23 points (9-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 106-104 loss to the Pacers.

That makes it 12 double-doubles in as many appearances to begin the season for the star big man, who has been a model of consistency so far. Towns has now notched four consecutive double-doubles with at least 20 points and 10 boards, turning in eight such efforts for the campaign.
