Just in the said quarter alone, Towns was already called for three fouls, one made during the 9:11 mark, followed by another personal foul at the 6:09 mark and a technical foul at the said mark. 

Towns is crucial in Dominican Republic's campaign against Angola as he has already posted averages of 25 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in the past two games.
