Kevon Looney – (Golden State Warriors)

Anthony Edwards and James Wiseman, the top two picks in the 2020 NBA draft, had played against each other in high school All-Star exhibitions, but never in an NBA. That all changed when the faced off against one another this past Monday.

Wiseman 1 Edwards 0 and they will be running it back tonight!

Minnesota Timberwolves

Anthony Edwards had a jaw-dropping dunk among 15 points for the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. However, this did not prevent his team from getting their pants blown off in a 108 – 130 romp.

In addition to playing against Wiseman, Edwards spent time in his postgame interview gushing about his first-ever encounter with the Warriors’ Stephen Curry, the game’s leading scorer with 36 points.

“I have been watching him on TV,” Edwards said, “and it is not fake. It is not fake news. It is real. He will just take one dribble and pull up from deep and shoot it like it is nothing. I was watching him warm up and I was like, ‘That is crazy.'”

It the Timberwolves are going to compete tonight, they cannot get outscored 42-24 on 3-pointers. Malik Beasley will also need to pace Minnesota with another 30+ point performance.

James Wiseman began Monday’s game from the bench. He responded to a demotion from the starting lineup with 13 points. Warriors coach Steve Kerr explained Wiseman’s demotion came as a result of Golden State wanting to get off to faster starts. The Warriors had been buried early in their two previous games, losses to New York and Utah.

The move worked. With defensive-minded Kevon Looney manning the middle, the Warriors held the Timberwolves to four points in the first 4:22, building a 15-point lead.

Looney wound up playing 19 minutes, during which the Warriors outscored the Timberwolves by 21 points. Golden State was outscored by two during Wiseman’s 16 minutes on the floor.

Andrew Wiggins enjoyed his first reunion with his old team by scoring 23 points, six rebounds, three steals and three blocks. He combined with Curry to shoot 21-for-40 overall from the field and 9-for-17 on 3-pointers.
