Anthony Edwards rushes past the Celtics for a layup
The Minnesota Timberwolves entered Saturday’s game against the Boston Celtics looking to snap a three-game losing streak. They did so after a 119-115 win to improve to 10-8 on the season. It was a star guard Anthony Edwards who led the Timberwolves and had one game in particular where he beat the entire Celtics team down the court to finish with easy laying.
The game came late in the third quarter when Anthony Edwards caught a pass from Donte DiVincenzo, raced down the court, dribbled through two Celtics defenders and finished with a layup. At the time of the game, the Wolves were trailing. But in the end they took the lead and managed to close out the win.
Edwards finished with a team-high 39 points, just shy of Celtics star Jaylen Brown’s career-high 41. Edwards also added two rebounds, five assists and one block in just over 37 minutes of play. He shot 12 of 24 (50 percent) from the field, 5 of 11 (45.5 percent) from the 3-point line and 10 of 11 (90.9 percent) from the free throw line.
Since Mike Conley Jr. moved to the bench, the starting lineup of the Timberwolves is devoid of true point guard, a role taken over by Edwards in recent weeks.
In the middle Wolves have an uneven start to the seasonEdwards was his usual All-Star self for the team. Entering Saturday’s game, Edwards had appeared in 14 games for the Wolves, averaging just over 32 minutes per game. He averaged a season-high 28.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.5 steals while shooting 47.5 percent from the field, 39.2 percent from the 3-point line and 81.4 percent from the free throw line.
