Former Georgia Bulldog Anthony Edwards has been the face of the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise for a few years, and he proved it in the second game of the NBA season. He scored 27 points, which led the team, along with six rebounds and three assists, making 10 of his 25 attempts. Unfortunately, his prowess couldn’t lift the Timberwolves over the Lakers, losing 110-103.
Edwards had this to say in the press conference after the game.
“I feel like we got really good shots. I feel like we just missed a lot of shots, me included.”
On getting open looks:
“I feel like I got a lot of open looks tonight. Like I said, we got great looks. If we make those shots we win the game. It’s that simple. If I make the open shots I missed I’ll win the game.”
On the first half turnovers:
“We made some lazy passes. We weren’t ready to play yet. We came too relaxed,” said Edwards.
