Karl-Anthony Towns talked about the Minnesota Timberwolves’ need to create an identity following Saturday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans
“When you’re building an identity, obviously we don’t have one, to be very fairly honest in the NBA,” Towns said. “But if you want to build one, it’s going to take some time where you’re going to have to play your game even when people don’t understand how we’re playing. You try to be physical defensively, especially, so if we’re going to get a little foul here and there over physicality and building our identity and our culture, then that has to be what it is.”
Towns said he spent this offseason lifting heavier weight in an effort to be stronger and bigger to go against the biggest players in the league.
“Our culture and our identity is more important right now than trying to find a way of just letting us play the game, you know what I’m trying to say?” Towns said. “We’ve got to continue to build this culture and this identity every game, regardless of the result. We’ve got to play our game, and if they beat us playing our game, then kudos to them. We’ll go on to the next one.”
