Meanwhile, Minnesota came up short against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, falling 107-98. The losing side was boosted by center Karl-Anthony Towns, who posted a double-double with 32 points and 14 rebounds while also chipping in seven assists. Towns and Anthony Edwards have proven to be a dynamic one-two punch early in the season.
Towns is averaging 29.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.3 blocks this year, while Edwards is averaging 25.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists. The evolution of Edwards’ game is going to be critical if the Timberwolves are going to surprise in the Western Conference this season and this is an intriguing early-season test for the former No. 1 overall pick.
