Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards led his team to a 127-102 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, scoring 35 points in the process. With his scorching performance, Edwards is making a name for himself as one of the league’s most dangerous shooters, particularly from deep. His nine three-pointers against Portland helped him reach 50 threes on the season—tying a record previously only held by Stephen Curry for the most made through the first nine games of the year.
Shooting at a career-high 46.1% from beyond the arc, Edwards has demonstrated remarkable consistency and volume, attempting 11.1 threes per game. He expressed confidence in his approach, saying he was happy to continue shooting when defenders give him space. “I’mma keep shooting that [expletive]” Edwards remarked, reflecting his fearless mindset.
Edwards’ impressive start has sparked discussion about his shooting efficiency, especially considering his elite athleticism. While some critics wonder why he’s not attacking the rim more, his three-point shooting at such a high level could open up even more opportunities for him as defenses adjust.
The Timberwolves, riding a three-game win streak, will look to continue their momentum with matchups against the Miami Heat and Portland next week, as they aim to build on their early-season successes and establish themselves in a competitive Western Conference.
