He started with 44 points, 3 blocks and 3 steals against the Houston Rockets on Saturday. He added 31 points and four stolen bases two nights later in a narrow loss to Houston. He scored another 37 points in Wednesday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Edwards then led the Timberwolves to victory over the Western Conference’s second-place team on Friday.
The former Georgia star dropped 13 points in the third quarter alone, including three 3-pointers. But the biggest highlight occurred in the first game when Edwards flew over Jalen and his Jackson Jr. for a slam.
