Similar to Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards may face a hefty punishment for his comments made about the officials after their team’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Edwards did not hold back in expressing his displeasure with the way he feels they were officiated during the fierce Sunday match, which they lost 120-109.
Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves Got Dominated by Anthony Davis, Los Angeles Lakers
The Timberwolves faced Anthony Davis in their most recent game without Karl-Anthony Towns (who will be sidelined for at least a month after surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee) and Rudy Gobert (who is recovering from a hamstring injury).
AD was so dominant that not even a stellar performance from Naz Reid could match what the Lakers centre produced. In actuality, Davis made history by being the first player to ever record a 25-25-5-5-3 stat line. He ended with five assists, seven steals, three blocks, 25 rebounds, and 27 points.With 25 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and two blocks, Edwards topped the Timberwolves in every way. However, his efforts were merely insufficient.
The Timberwolves won the third quarter 92-91, but the game remained competitive until the fourth quarter. Nevertheless, the Lakers used a 24-4 run in the last quarter to take a decisive lead.
The Lakers simply had too much firepower for Minnesota to handle, and the fact that the Purple and Gold had a significant advantage in free throws did not help either.
The Timberwolves made 11 of the 13 free throws that they tried. Conversely, the Lakers made 22 of their 29 trips from the charity stripe. Undoubtedly, the 11-point variation in the number of free throws made led to a significant gap.
It is also important to remember that Davis took the same number of free throw attempts as the Timberwolves by himself.
