For Anthony Edwards, scoring just 19 points in Game 1 must ve felt like a disappointment. He didn t waste any time putting up points in Game 2. Edwards had 10 points in the first quarter of the Timberwolves Game 2 tilt with the Dallas Mavericks, doing most of his damage from the free throw line.
The Timberwolves are eight wins away from what would be perhaps the most awkward podium celebration in the history of sports. Whom would Adam Silver hand the Larry O'Brien Trophy to? Longtime owner Glen Taylor? Or minority owners Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore, who are in the middle of a dispute with Taylor over an aborted sale of Taylor's majority stake in the team?
