Anthony Edwards wanted to change the narrative.
Monday night, the Spurs knocked off the Timberwolves, who were on the second night of a back to back and Edwards struggled (9 points on 3-of-15 shooting).
Wednesday night, in the second game of a “baseball series,” Edwards came out on a mission, hit five 3-pointers on his way to 34 points, and sparked a 134-122 win in the rematch.
Anthony Edwards was on FIRE in Q1 of the @Timberwolves win draining 5 three-pointers on his way to 34 PTS!

“I think we got to take a couple punches in the face to realize that we need to come out like that all the time,” Edwards told the Associated Press. “That punch that we took versus San Antonio the first game kind of woke us up.”
If the Timberwolves have dreams of moving into the top 10 in offense with this roster, it will be because of more nights like this from Edwards.
