Anthony Edwards<\/a> may have lost his epic clash with Victor Wembanyama<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n

But he proved that he continues to be one of the best young shooting guards the NBA has ever seen.<\/p>\n

Edwards put up 32 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists for the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> in their loss to the Spurs<\/a> in Game 3.<\/p>\n

It was the sixth 30-point playoff game for Edwards in the last 363 days.<\/p>\n

All told, he has the third-most playoff games of 30 points or more by a shooting guard before turning 25.<\/p>\n

Only Kobe Bryant<\/a> and Dwyane Wade<\/a> are ahead of him, according to Real Sports, which means that Edwards is ahead of Michael Jordan in this category, among all the others.<\/p>\n

Even in defeat, Edwards’ performance was hugely encouraging for the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

After his injury in the prior round, he’d been a bit rocky in the first two games of the series against the Spurs.<\/p>\n

This was a breakout back to his usual level. If Minnesota can keep getting this level from Ant, the Timberwolves still have a chance.<\/p>\n

And at this historic level of play for Edwards, it’s a treat for basketball fans everywhere.<\/p>\n
