The Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t winning as much as they want, but at least Anthony Edwards is amazing. The 23-year-old broke his single-game career-high with 53 points (16-of-31 FG, 10-of-15 3Pt) against the Detroit Pistons.

Fans were captivated as Edwards dueled with Pistons guard Cade Cunningham, who finished with 40 points of his own (15-of-29 FG, 4-of-8 3Pt).

Edwards was largely a one-man show for Minnesota, as he scored almost half the team’s points in the 119-105 loss. @RobDillMuse used a Thanos GIF to illustrate how much the Georgia alum carried.

Meanwhile, independent Timberwolves journalist Dane Moore pointed out that Edwards still passed the ball as well despite having just two assists.

Anthony Edwards is going to finish tonight with over 50 points and only an assist or two — and it's going to be a whole "he said he wants be a scorer, not a passer" thing.

“Anthony Edwards is going to finish tonight with over 50 points and only an assist or two — and it’s going to be a whole ‘he said he wants be a scorer, not a passer’ thing,” Moore said. “But it is worth noting that Ant had numerous hockey assists when Detroit put two on the ball, including these two that led to big corner 3s at the end of the 3rd.”

More to come.
