Anthony Edwards tied KAT’s franchise record double Jailen Brown
Anthony Edwards beat the Boston Celtics in style on Saturday night. Climbing a giant franchise while you do it. Edwards dropped 39 points Minnesota Timberwolves‘ 119-115 comeback win over the Boston Celtics, tied Karl-Anthony Towns‘ franchise record with his 101st career 30-point game, as highlighted by the NBA Stats X account.
He did it in full “face of the franchise” mode, outsmarting himself Jailen Brown in a prime-time hit. The Boston Celtics looked in control for most of the first half. Jaylen Brown, a game-time decision at guard, came out blazing, 19 points in the first quarter, 27 by halftime.
He finished with 41 points on 17-of-32 shooting, 5-of-11 from deep, plus seven assists, six rebounds and five steals via ESPN Box Score, doing everything but packing his bags for the flight home.
Neemias Cueta bullied Minnesota inside with 19 points and 18 rebounds on 7-of-8 shooting, anchoring a Boston offense that built a 10-point halftime lead and repeatedly hunted Mike Conley in pick-and-rolls.
Then the third quarter flipped the script. The Timberwolves outscored Boston 35-23 in the frame and caught fire from three after halftime as Anthony Edwards bombed and role players finally cashed in on open looks.
Anthony Edwards’ final line of 39 points on 12-of-24 shooting, 5-of-11 from three and 10-of-11 at the line was loud enough, but the dagger was even louder. A ridiculous off-balance 3-pointer in the final seconds to extend the lead to six and effectively end it.
Julius Randle added 16 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Donte DiVincenzo stepped in 15 points and eight assists, and Rudy Gobert had 12 points and eight boards. Naz Reed had 10 points and eight rebounds off the bench, while Mike Conley’s timely shooting late in the game helped keep Minnesota steady.
The win moves the Minnesota Timberwolves to 11-8 and keeps them in the middle of the Western Conference race. The Boston Celtics fall to 10-9, left to wrangle over a wasted monster from Jaylen Brown.
