In Wednesday’s season opener at Kaseya Center, the Timberwolves beat the Heat 131-106 behind Edwards’ explosive night: 16-of-29 shooting, 9-of-17 from three, and 10 rebounds.
He joined Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan as just the third player with multiple 40-point openers, while Ball added 21 points and six assists, with Edwards calling him a future best friend.
Fans buzzed over a traveling call on Ball, Edwards’ trash talk with Chad Johnson, and early MVP talk for the star guard as Minnesota dominated rebounds and threes.
