The NBA regular season continues today with the Minnesota Timberwolves hosting the Washington Wizards.
The Timberwolves are the top team in the Western Conference, and they should play very easily against the Wizards, but the reality is that they play hard. The Timberwolves had a sluggish first quarter and were left behind by their opponents. At the most in the second quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by 21 points and looked like they were about to send warmth.
It was at this time that Edwards, the Timberwolves' top guard, stepped up and kept scoring to help the team open the game.
Edwards played a very strong attack, which can be called a god. In the third quarter alone, Edwards scored 17 points on his own, quickly helping the Timberwolves erase the point gap. In the final quarter, Edwards still took the lead, leading the team to a 12-0 attack wave and finally defeated the Wizards 130-121.
In the whole game, Edwards shot 17-of-29 from the field, including 6-of-13 from three-point range, and blasted 51 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, setting a career-high score, with the previous record of 49 points. At the last moment, Edwards made a layup with the ball and broke through the lever, which was amazing, really like Jordan's movements, and said that he was not "Jordan's illegitimate son"?
Downs, who was previously sidelined with a torn meniscus, is reportedly recovering well and is expected to be back before the playoffs begin. At that time, I can't imagine how fierce the Timberwolves are!
After winning this victory, the Timberwolves continue to chase the Denver Nuggets, and they still have hope of hitting the first place in the West.
