Anthony Edwards (39 points) has the last word against Jaylen Brown (41 points)!
Between Timberwolves which remained at three defeats in a row and Celtics who have won five of their last six matches, the poster promised to be as interesting as it was explosive.
That did not fail to be confirmed because, despite the victory of Minnesota on Boston (119-115), we will especially remember the XSL duel in between Anthony Edwards (39 points) et Jailen Brown (41 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 5 steals).
After a balanced first quarter (36-32), in which mostly Jaylen Brown broke the canvas with his 19 points, and Neemias Cueta reigned under the board, against the Timberwolves with a better distributed score, the Celtics signed the first separate – permanent – during the second quarter. Up to +12 on the scoreboard, with the help of 14-4 initiated by Jalen Brown, of course, while the Wolves piled up failures and experienced a major skill crisis (69-59).
Then we have to wait until the third quarter and a 19-6 spurt by Anthony Edwards and the scorers with newfound skills, because they are left alone too often, to see Minnesota back in the game, at the dawn of the final act (94-92). Like Jalen Brown, Boston has lost its spirit and the locals are more inspired, so much so that they score 9-0 that puts them at +12 with four minutes left, “Ant-Man” helped a lot with his aggressiveness until the circle (110-98).
The moment chosen by Jaylen Brown and Nehemiah Keta to recover the form from the beginning of the match and respond with 12-0, which again returns the counters to zero, tweezers (110-110). But Mike Conley, and then Anthony Edwards, again (and with quite a bit of success…) set up – the umpteenth – three-pointer that definitely knocks out the Celtics. The public can therefore rejoice, as Wolves go forward, after their black streak (119-115).
– Minnesota finally beat a positive team. We had to wait until the ninth attempt to see the Timberwolves win against a team with at least a 50% winning record. Before that, they had eight losses in eight games, and in this meeting where the shooters celebrated (a total of 37 baskets for 3 points), Chris Finch’s players can rightly thank the skill outside: 21 of 48! This got them out of trouble against the Celtics who dominated the paint (50 points to 34) and took advantage inside, resulting in a lot of seconds (and extra ammunition).
– Anthony Edwards has the final word on Jaylen Brown. The All-Star running backs kept their spots in this game. One (Jalen Brown) especially shone in all sectors in the first half (27 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals…), while the other (Anthony Edwards) stood out in the second half. Awakened by the “garbage” of Jaylen Brown and his ” Too small! », Anthony Edwards noticeably took matters into his own hands in the final minutes, between his 9-0 that created the first “break” or his incredible three-pointer to make it 118-112 with 14 seconds left. The duel of leaders that we love.
