Timberwolves Take Down Bulls, Edwards Soars with 37 Points
The Minnesota Timberwolves flew past the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night, securing a dominant 128-115 victory. Anthony Edwards led the charge for the Wolves, showcasing his scoring prowess with a game-high 37 points.
The game was a fast-paced affair, with both teams going back and forth in the first half. But Minnesota pulled away in the third quarter, thanks to a blistering 3-point barrage and Edwards' explosive scoring. He was simply unstoppable, draining shots from all over the court and even showcasing some impressive driving layups.
The Bulls, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm offensively. They shot poorly from the field and were plagued by turnovers. DeMar DeRozan, who was playing in just his second game back from injury, led the Bulls with 26 points.
Edwards' Explosive Night
Edwards was the story of the game, however. He was efficient from the field, shooting 13-of-22, including 5-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 6 assists and 4 rebounds, demonstrating his complete game.
"It was just one of those nights where I felt good," said Edwards after the game. "The shots were falling, and my teammates kept finding me."
More Than Just Edwards
While Edwards was the star, the Wolves got contributions from the entire roster. Karl-Anthony Towns added 22 points and 13 rebounds for a double-double, and Jaden McDaniels had a strong game with 16 points and 6 steals.
The win was a much-needed boost for the Timberwolves, who had lost their previous two games. It also showed their potential as a team, especially when Edwards is playing at this level.
What's Next?
The Timberwolves will look to build on this momentum as they continue their road trip. They'll face the Cleveland Cavaliers next, a team that has been playing well recently.
It's going to be a tough test, but if Edwards keeps playing like he did against the Bulls, the Timberwolves will be a tough team to beat.
