“I’m having the most fun I ever had playing basketball.”
Anthony Edwards couldn’t hide his beaming smile in the locker room after his Minnesota Timberwolves set a franchise scoring record with 150 points in a 150-126 dismantling of a sputtering Chicago Bulls team.
The 2020 No. 1 overall pick put together his most complete performance of the season in front of a home crowd eager to explode in praise for a undermanned, yet undeterred Timberwolves squad finding its rhythm. Edwards scored a season-high 37 points on 13/25 shooting (4/11 from 3, 7/7 on free throws), dropped a career-best 11 assists, grabbed seven rebounds, corralled two steals and threw down a dunk most NBA players can only dream of pulling off in a game.
