Edwards' Collapse: Timberwolves Face Kings After Suns' Late Surge
25 Nov
Summary
- Timberwolves lost after a late 9-0 run by the Suns.
- Anthony Edwards committed turnovers and missed crucial free throws.
- Kings snapped an eight-game losing streak with a comeback win.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are aiming for a strong performance against the Sacramento Kings following a gut-wrenching defeat. They squandered an eight-point lead with just over a minute remaining against the Phoenix Suns, ultimately losing by one point due to a decisive 9-0 run.
Key to the collapse were turnovers, including two by Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle, and Edwards' missed free throws in the dying seconds. Despite a season-high 41 points from Edwards, the Timberwolves' execution faltered, leading to a painful loss on their road trip.
The Sacramento Kings, however, are entering the game with renewed confidence. They recently halted an eight-game losing skid by overcoming a 13-point deficit to defeat the Denver Nuggets. This victory, highlighted by strong performances from Russell Westbrook and Dennis Schroder, signaled a much-needed team effort.
