Pistons Defeat Timberwolves Despite Edwards' 53 Points

In a thrilling clash, the Detroit Pistons defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 119-105, with Cade Cunningham leading the Pistons with 40 points. Although Anthony Edwards scored a career-high 53 points for the Timberwolves, his team's overall performance suffered due to a lack of support, as only one other player scored in double figures. The Pistons established a lead early, going up by as many as 24 points, and their defense effectively limited Minnesota's offensive rhythm. Edwards expressed frustration with facing double teams, yet he took on the scoring burden but was plagued by six turnovers. Detroit's Malik Beasley contributed significantly off the bench with 23 points, helping the Pistons secure their third straight victory and improve to 17-18. The Timberwolves, now at 17-17, struggled offensively, particularly in the second quarter, where they managed only 15 points.
