2. Feb. 14, 2017. 41 Points, 3 Rebounds, 2 Assists, 1 Steal

A very similar stat line to the previous game, but with some extra padding with a couple more rebounds. Again, Wiggins seems to have traded the other facets of his game in order to put more points on the board, but once again this came in a Timberwolves loss, so chasing points was necessary to go for the win.

He shot 55.2 percent on his way to 41 points, including 50 percent from the 3-point line, making 4-of-8.

This performance was another example of his dominance as a scorer, and a big step on his way to the max-contract extension discussions.

He really shined as a scorer in this game, leading both teams with Towns coming in second with 26 points, and an impressive 130 offensive rating (points per 100 possessions).
