Statement from Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves. This game really couldn’t have gone better for them in terms of re-establishing the tone of this matchup.
Again, this was a 56-win team. Matchup problems aside, the Suns were never just gonna streamroll them – 6:04 PM

A tour de force of a 3rd quarter for Anthony Edwards. He’s up to 28, 5r, 4a. Wolves up 20 going into the 4th. – 5:46 PM

Anthony Edwards gets off the ball and finds the open man twice in a row, and his teammates reward him for it with 3s. Gonna be interesting to see how much the Suns back off their help-heavy approach with Ant if that continues. Wolves up 23-22 early – 4:06 PM

Game tied at 11, KD with 9 of the Suns’ first 11 points. Wrote about this earlier in the week, but Anthony Edwards needed to find pockets in semi-transition to be more aggressive, and he’s doing that early to get some open looks. Suns need to be a bit sharper on D – 3:59 PM

Suns have already forced 2 turnovers on Anthony Edwards trying to dribble through the lane. KD with all 5 of Phoenix’s points so far, they’re getting him involved early with Towns on him – 3:53 PM

I thought “posterize” is just a concept now. But the Timberwolves actually went old-school for that much ballyhooed Anthony Edwards slam earlier this season. pic.twitter.com/neB5PNfOga – 3:46 PM

Stay big or go small.
Jusuf Nurkic foul trouble.
Can anyone slow down Bradley Beal?
Who wins turnover battle?
It is Anthony Edwards time?
