Anthony Edwards may not be the best player to come out of Georgia, as the point guard said Walt \u201cClyde\u201d Frazier told him during pregame warmups.<\/p>\n
However, he was the best player at Madison Square Garden on Friday night.<\/p>\n
In what was a hot shooting night for the Timberwolves, the two-time All-Star led the pack with 36 points, going 12-for-21 from the field in Minnesota\u2019s 116-99 win over the Knicks to help them climb back to .500.<\/p>\n
He also added 13 rebounds and seven assists that helped prevent the Knicks from getting a win over two former players \u2014 Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo \u2014 who were traded for Karl-Anthony Towns.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was happy [with his performance],\u201d Edwards said after the win. \u201cMy best friend texted me before the game just trying to motivate me, like, \u2018Bro they have tried us again.\u2019 Someone on media was saying something about me. I\u2019m not on social media, and he sends me the little posts. He just texted me, \u2018Whatcha gonna do?\u2019 So, I had to show up for him. He don\u2019t usually text me with stuff like that. So, that was my motivation.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 2020 No. 1 pick didn\u2019t start out hot, however. He shot 1-for-7 in the first quarter before getting into a rhythm.<\/p>\n
But nothing was more notable than Edwards\u2019 show-stopping dunk to make the game 96-89 with nearly 7 minutes to go.<\/p>\n
He beat Jalen Brunson, who was helping off of a pick, driving into the paint and going over Precious Achiuwa for the wild poster dunk. In the three minutes prior to the basket, the Timberwolves went on an 11-2 run, and Edwards scored or assisted on all 11 points.<\/p>\n
Edwards also was lethal from deep, shooting 8-for-13, which has been an improvement for him this season.<\/p>\n
He is shooting more (9.9 3s per game) and making more (42.3 percent) this year compared to his 35 percent on 6.7 attempts a year ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s really committed to taking more 3s,\u201d coach Chris Finch said prior to the game. \u201cWe\u2019ve always been telling him he is really good at it. He used to pass up a lot of open 3s to kind of maybe play with the ball in a different rhythm. He\u2019s got to shoot 3s. Always been a great weapon, and now he just trusts it more.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
