Anthony Edwards reacts to his Steph Curry-like feat
It's no secret that Anthony Edwards has had the hot hand from beyond the arc at the start of the 2024-25 NBA season. Edwards is averaging career-highs in 3-point makes and attempts and continues to find ways to get open from deep.
On Friday night versus the Portland Trail Blazers, Edwards connected on nine 3-pointers, giving him 50 on the season, the third-highest mark in NBA history behind Steph Curry in 2018-19 (55) and 2023-24 (53) through the first nine games of the season.
ESPN shared a post of this Edwards stat and got a reaction in the comments from the Minnesota Timberwolves star.
"😎," Edwards posted in the comments.
Anthony Edwards is on a historic pace from the 3-point range to start the season and has joined some elite company in the record books. The former Georgia Bulldog is connecting on 48.1% of his 11.6 3-point attempts per game. Edwards is tied with Jayson Tatum for second in the NBA in 3-point attempts per game and is leading the league in 3-point percentage (minimum 7.0 3-pointers per game).
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves win third straight
In a historic shooting night on Friday, Anthony Edwards helped lead the Timberwolves to their third consecutive win. Edwards and Minnesota topped Portland 127-102, posting their largest margin of victory so far this season.
Edwards tied his season-high mark with 37 points on 12-of-21 shooting, grabbing six rebounds and dishing out five assists. Julius Randle shined alongside Edwards, posting 22 points, six rebounds and four assists. Naz Reid and Dante DiVincenzo also scored in double figures off the bench.
Minnesota has won four of their last five games with a 6-3 record through nine games after a 2-2 start to the season. Edwards and the Timberwolves will be back at home on Sunday night for a matchup versus the Miami Heat looking to extend their win streak to four games.
After their second straight game at home, Minnesota will be out for a three-game road trip with stops in Portland and Sacramento.
