While we thought we were seeing the Wolves suffer another shameful defeat, Anthony Edwards’ friends began a 19-point comeback to end up winning 108-106.
Years pass, but sometimes some things never change. And when it comes to choke the end of the match, the Clippers are unplayable.
Last night was no exception.
In the first half, the Wolves were stuck between an ineffective attack and a defense at bay on almost all the actions, we were starting to feel a little sad for these wolves without reference.
When we say we are sad, it concerns us, simple spectators. The Clippers, for their part, didn’t care and were well on their way to beating Minnesota. Proof of this is their lead which rose to 19 points.
Except that after passing through the den called the locker room, the Wolves returned with other intentions.
When it comes to saving Minnesota, Anthony Edwards is always ready to put on his Superman costume. The second half was his where he scored 28 points and finished the game with 37 points on the clock.
Anthony Edwards tonight:
37 Points
8 Assists
7 Rebounds

However, the Clippers gave themselves, but the skill was not there like James Harden who flirted with the triple-double, but whose waste was numerous (8/22 shooting) . An insufficient performance against Anthony Edwards who himself sealed the match with a final 3-point shot.
Nicolas Batum tried to limit the damage with a small bomb at the end of the 3rd quarter, but it was insufficient and the Clips lost 106 to 108.

For his second outing of the season, Kawhi was much less successful than against the Hawks since he finished with 8 points on 3/11 shooting in 20 minutes.
The Clippers had the match in hand, but like unfortunately too many times this season, they were unable to keep their lead.
