Edwards is averaging a career-best 28.7 points per game this season and needs to carry a greater load for a Minnesota. If Chris Finch's team is going to make their first NBA Finals then the superstar has to find a new level.
Unfortunately Tim Connelly didn't shuffle the roster much this offseason, and that means more pressure falls on the shoulders of Edwards. He can't close out games like he did against the Suns, but a 36-19 finish against the Spurs shows that the Timberwolves have that dog in them.
Now 12-8 this season , the Minnesota Timberwolves can build momentum off of their latest win. They are back in action Tuesday in New Orleans against the Pelicans . The two sides play each other in consecutive contests with another road tilt on Thursday.
