Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves to a 122-94 blowout win over the Heat on Tuesday, accumulating 26 points (8-of-18 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks over 29 minutes.
Edwards poured in 16 first-half points to help the Timberwolves build an early lead, which they extended to nearly 30 points by the midway point of the fourth quarter, in their second contest against Miami in the last three days. The combination of the score and a couple early fouls cut into Edwards’ minutes and prevented him from an even more impressive scoring performance as he was feeling it from long range, hitting 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. The 24-year-old franchise cornerstone has put together a phenomenal season, averaging 29.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks through 30 games.
