Anthony Edwards Powers Minnesota To The Victory Over Memphis (109-101)

by Travis Singleton | Nov 30, 2022 | Featured, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA

The Minnesota Timberwolves bounced back significantly after losing Karl-Anthony Towns to a calf strain. With Towns sidelined for about 4-6 weeks, it was time for his teammates to step up and they did just that tonight. Wendell Moore Jr got the surprise start tonight against the Grizzlies and his assignment was to guard Ja Morant. Moore Jr did a great job especially when it came to making it tough on Morant and getting back in transition. He might not have filled the stat sheet but he was able to make an impact from a game perspective. Morant and Brooks were ejected from the game as things got chippy, but before they exited the game, they finished with a combined 36 points, 9 assists, and 11 rebounds. Ja Morant was able to still get to the basket but he had to work for his 24 points tonight.

In the game, Morant had a crazy alley-oop dunk that got his team hyped and back into the game. Right after that Coach, Finch called the timeout and that’s when Anthony Edwards took over the game. The Grizzlies were hanging around all game long and when things tightened up that’s when Minnesota relies on Edwards. In the game, Anthony Edwards was using his defense to create offense as he was in the passing lanes and he was getting rebounds while starting the fast break. The Grizzlies had no answer for Edwards as he was giving any defender that wanted it buckets. During the game, Dillion Brooks got into a small altercation with Edwards that got him riled up and that woke up the inner beast. Edwards finished the game with 29 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds but was the focal point down the stretch. It’s to be noted that the Timberwolves got a huge contribution from Jaylen Nowell as he was able to drop 24 points off the bench.

It seemed like every time the Timberwolves needed a bucket they went to Nowell and he was able to deliver. The best thing about Nowell’s game is that he can come in cold but shoot like he’s hot. He’s been a true professional and showed tonight that no one is able to guard him one on one when he’s locked in. D’Angelo Russell was able to get his teammates involved as he was able to finish with 10 assists on the night. Russell’s one of the best passers in the game and when he can find his teammates in open or tight spaces it’s special and we witnessed that tonight. The Timberwolves got the OKC Thunder coming into town on Saturday and will look to make it two games in a row.

Porzingis’ Career High 41 Points Propels Wizards To Victory Over Minnesota (142-127)

Featured

by Travis Singleton | Nov 28, 2022 | Featured, Minnesota Timberwolves, NFL

The Washington Wizards were on a mission and set the tone early. Kristaps Porzingas was on another level tonight as he was able to get anything he wanted inside and out. It was the outside that Porzingis really made the Timberwolves pay as he was able to hit 6/10 from the 3-point line. Porzingis finished the game with 41 points a new career high and put Washington on his back. The Timberwolves had no answer for the Unicorn as he was able to flourish on both ends of the floor. It didn’t matter who was guarding him between Towns, Gobert, or Reid he was able to make an impact. Kyle Kuzma and Bradley Beal were able to get to their spots tonight as well scoring with ease.

They both combined for 55 points and shot 18/30 from the field as they let Porzingis go off. It was a calm night for Kuzma and Beal as they were able to pick their spots with efficiency. The Wizards had at one point had a 28-point lead and were blowing the Timberwolves out badly. Even with that 28-point deficit, it got even worse when Karl-Anthony Towns got hurt on a non-contact play as he needed help heading to the locker room. Coach Finch had no further updates for the injury all we know is it’s a calf sprain. The Timberwolves need Karl-Anthony Towns if they’re going to move forward this season as they look for a big win against the Grizzlies coming up. The only bright spot in tonight’s game is that the Timberwolves didn’t get super bad news about KAT.

Also, they were able to see how things will work with Rudy Gobert as the main big if Towns is out. This Timberwolves team has the potential to be whatever they want to be and it starts with Anthony Edwards. On the night Anthony Edwards had 29 points, 2 assists, and 8 rebounds as he fell short of helping get the win for the Timberwolves. As much as the Timberwolves needed this win it was lost by a lack of energy and hustle plays. The Wizards had 12 steals and were able to force a lot of turnovers and that was a deciding factor in this game as it was just too late, especially after the Towns injury.
