Anthony Edwards dunking against the Houston Rockets
The Minnesota Timberwolves have found a beast in Anthony Edwards. Edwards has made several impressive dunks during his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA and after his latest game against the Rockets, he yet again produced a Dunk of The Year-worthy slam. The day was special for Edwards as his girlfriend’s birthday was approaching and he surely had to put on a performance for her. The Houston Rockets were nearly defeated by Edwards alone on Saturday night thanks to a sequence of outstanding plays and dominating dunks.
Saturday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Houston Rockets 113-104 behind a season-high 44 points from Anthony Edwards and 23 points from D’Angelo Russell. For the first time this season, Edwards scored over 40 points on 17 of 29 field goal attempts, including seven 3-pointers. With a season-high 19 points, Nathan Knight gave the offense a boost off the bench. For his dunks and performance overall the crowd was chanting “MVP” all along.
Edwards was later asked about his performance vs the Rockets and this is what he had to say to the reporters. “My girlfriend’s birthday is in two days, man, she is going out of the country, so I had to put on a show for her. He even graded his dunks and said “I could’ve gone a little higher.” His second slam on Sengun’s Head was his favorite one from the initial poster and the alley-oop D’Angelo Russell hooked him up with.
Alperen Sengun of Houston took advantage of the Timberwolves’ absence of Rudy Gobert (right groin tightness) for the third straight game by scoring 19 points and grabbing 16 rebounds.
Can Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves make it to the playoffs this season?
The Timberwolves squad from this year is different from the squad from the previous one. It has a greater skill, better potential, and the ability to advance this franchise in ways it hasn’t since 2004. They’ll end up in the Play-In Tournament wishing they had taken care of business earlier though if they can’t enter every game with the proper amount of desperation and battle.
Regardless of who is wearing a suit on the opposing end of the court, fans expect their team to play hard every single night. If the Wolves had just exerted more effort than the opposition, they would have defeated each of those clubs. They would’ve been one of the top 3 teams in Western Conference. Instead, they are 4 games behind the unexpected Sacramento Kings and have a record of 24–24 as they sit 7th in the Western Conference just behind the reigning champions, Golden State Warriors.
