Anthony Edwards scored a Little Caesars Arena-record 53 points, but you can’t win a game by yourself, and the Detroit Pistons used an all-around team effort to gut out the win 119-105 over the Minnesota Timberwolves in front of a raucous crowd. Cade Cunningham did his best to go punch-for-punch with Edwards, both by scoring (a season-high 40 points) and distributing the ball (nine assists.)
Edwards’ performance comes after vowing to be more assertive in looking for his offense even as opposing teams build entire game plans around getting the ball out of his hands.
