Anthony Edwards continues to impress, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 108-106 victory over James Harden and the Los Angeles Clippers. The young star draws comparisons to Harden's early career dominance.
The Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota Timberwolves faced off Monday night in a matchup of past and present with James Harden and Anthony Edwards . While Harden continues to play at a high level, Edwards is emerging as a star, similar to Harden's trajectory at age 23 when he joined the Houston Rockets. The Timberwolves triumphed with a 108-106 victory. With the Karl-Anthony Towns trade this offseason, Edwards has taken on a larger offensive role.
Drawing parallels to Harden's time in Houston, Harden was asked about Edwards after the game. Asked about Edwards' role in Minnesota without a traditional point guard, Harden said, 'He's aggressive, he gets his teammates open,' Harden said when asked about Edwards' role in the offense for Minnesota. 'Obviously he scores the ball at the highest level. He gets his teammates shots and that's what he's gonna have to do.' Edwards entered the game averaging 20.1 shot attempts per game, mirroring Harden's average during his MVP season in 2017-18. Edwards finished with 37 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, and attempted 29 shots. The Clippers will aim to bounce back and secure a road win in Kawhi Leonard's third game back when they travel to face the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.
