Minnesota Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns was dominant on Friday morning, scoring 26 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in the Dominican Republic’s 87-81 win over Philippines in the FIBA World Cup, but his play may have been fueled by a simple philosophy.
Look good. Play good.
Towns put his (presumed) plan into action during a free throw attempt in the fourth quarter as he looked at himself on the jumbotron. Noticing some hair was out of place, Towns scoffed before fixing the problem and then knocked down the free throw to draw boos from the home crowd.

Towns’s run in the FIBA World Cup hasn’t been short on entertainment as he was ejected during an exhibition game with Spain. If a perfect haircut is what Towns needs to be at his best, the Timberwolves and the Dominican Republic will take it.
