Towns said: "Today's game is particularly important to me because I know my mother is watching me. Her family is also watching the game together, which makes me feel particularly warm."

"My teammates put me in a good position and I just wanted to take advantage of it. We were all trying to do our best to put ourselves in a position to get back in the game and have a chance to win at the end of the game. I saw the opportunity and decided to go all out and help the team get the win."
