Watch Anthony Edwards score a career-high 53 points, it's not enough as Timberwolves fall to Pistons

Anthony Edwards refused to speak to the media after the game?

He has a long way to go to become a winner in the NBA. And I know that might sound unfair, but the league is unfair. You have to grow up faster than people in the real world. - 1:10 AM

Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski

Anthony Edwards with a career-high 53 points. He was 10-15 from 3 and rest of team was 6-35.

Body language for the group was about as noticeable as it's been all season. Very little energy. - 9:28 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

Anthony Edwards saying that he doesn’t want to spend is nights passing the ball was quite possibly one of the worst things he could have said. Minnesota has not played like a team that likes each other tonight - 9:15 PM

Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine

After saying scoring was hard with all the double teams, Anthony Edwards has 26 points in the first half. Problem is his teammates had just 17. 10 turnovers for the Wolves, who trail 55-43 at the half.

In the "we didn't need him" department, Malik Beasley w/ 17 for DET. - 8:09 PM

Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill

Cade Cunningham struggled last night against Charlotte. He’s playing the opening minutes tonight with extra bounce, and knows Anthony Edwards is on the other side - 7:13 PM

More on this storyline

Chris Hine: Anthony Edwards declined to speak tonight. Asked Chris Finch about the starting lineup: "You guys ask me this question all the time." (Editors note: Twitter might disagree!) "If I felt that the magic bullet was changing the starting lineup, I would've done that already." Finch continued: "I don't think I'm being particularly stubborn. There's a chain reaction to everything you do. There are other combinations and things that go on on the floor that are just as important if not more so than the starting lineup." -via Bluesky / January 5, 2025

Omari Sankofa II: JB on Ant: "You don’t aim to give up 50 to anybody, but you manage the game as it comes to you … he’s a hell of a player. You have to tip your hat to him. But at the end of the day, we scored more points than them." -via x.com / January 4, 2025

Omari Sankofa II: FINAL: Pistons 119, Wolves 105. Pistons (17-18 overall) have won three-straight, six of their last seven and seven of nine. Cade scored 40 points and dished nine assists, his first 40-point game of the season. Ant led Minnesota with 53. Was a duel tonight, and the Pistons won. -via x.com / January 4, 2025
