Disappointing Loss for Timberwolves Despite Anthony Edwards’ Career-Best Performance
The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a 119-105 loss to the Detroit Pistons, despite Anthony Edwards’ career-best 53 points. Edwards’ impressive performance, which included 16/31 field goals and 10 triples, was not enough to secure a win for his team. The guard’s frustration was evident after the game, as he refused to speak to the press.
Results of the Day
* Nets 94-123 Sixers
* Pistons 119-105 Timberwolves

Edwards’ performance was a highlight of the game, as he surpassed his previous individual mark of 51 points. He became the second player after Karl-Anthony Towns to surpass the 50-point barrier in more than one game. However, the Timberwolves’ loss is a reflection of the team’s struggles this season. The franchise has been plagued by bad vibes since the transfer of Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks in the summer.
The Pistons, on the other hand, have shown significant improvement from last season. Cade Cunningham scored 40 points, his highest this season, and added six rebounds and nine assists to lead his team to their sixth victory in the last seven games.
The Suns’ Disappointing Season Continues
The Phoenix Suns are having a disappointing season, with a record of 12th in the Western Conference. Despite having a talented roster with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, the team has struggled to find consistency. They have lost four games in a row, seven in the last eight games, and 10 of their last 13.
In their recent loss to the Indiana Pacers, Durant and Booker were the top scorers with 25 and 20 points, respectively. However, they were outperformed by Tyrese Haliburton, who had 27 points and eight assists. The Pacers point guard has been impressive, with 37 basket passes in the last four games, losing only one ball.
