Anthony Edwards said it was "super exciting" to compete against Ja Morant after Morant missed most of last season.
Timberwolves coach Chris Finch wanted Edwards to catch the ball in the backcourt, giving him more of a running start toward the rim after he had taken 18 free throws in a rugged afternoon in FedExForum. But that was far too easy for the Grizzlies to cut off, which has been the problem for the Wolves this season.
And those situations are developing a theme. Anthony Edwards was a clutch-time hero for the Wolves in the early stages of the campaign. His tough shots carried the Wolves to a few remarkable victories. But that well has largely run dry, as evidenced by the air ball he threw up over multiple Grizzlies defenders at the horn in Memphis.
