Dieng has a long way to go to catch Kevin Garnett, who swatted 1,590 shots in a Wolves Jersey.
Anything's possible? Right, KG?
ICYWW: Karl-Anthony Towns has 294 career blocks, which is good for sixth on the all-time list. Towns needs only seven more denials to pass Christian Laettner (299) and Al Jefferson (300) to move into third.

Kenyan Drake reeled off almost 200 total yards as the Miami Dolphins (6-8) took care of the New England Patriots (12-3) 27-20 in South Beach in a Week 15 matchup.
