Anthony Edwards scores 32 points, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a win over the New Orleans Pelicans. He breaks a franchise record for most points scored in a three-game span.
It wasn't even a week ago when Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was letting out frustrations about all the double teams he's been facing this season, baffled about how to find his rhythm with two guys in his face at all times. In the three games since those comments, Edwards has scored 122 points, setting a Wolves franchise record for the most points scored by an individual player over a three-game span.
Edwards' latest impressive display was a 32-point performance in Tuesday night's 104-97 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.That makes it two wins in the last two nights for the Wolves (19-17), who were playing on the second end of a back to back.

Edwards was the driver early on with 14 first-quarter points. The finish could have been better. Despite leading by double digits for much of the fourth quarter, the Pelicans (7-30) got within 100-97 with under 30 seconds remaining after a turnover from Edwards led to a transition layup for Dejounte Murray. But Edwards drew a foul and knocked down a pair from the free-throw line the next possession to all but ice it. In addition to his game-high 32 points, Edwards also had nine rebounds, three assists and a pair of steals. Julius Randle rebounded from his off night Monday and got off to a much better start with eight first-quarter points on his way to 16 for the game. Murray and Herbert Jones, who each scored eight points in the first quarter, helped offset the hot start from the Wolves, who led just 34-33 after one quarter. It was a 54-54 draw when the halftime break rolled around. The Wolves got off to a lousy start to the third quarte
