that Friday\u2019s 40-point victory over Utah was<\/a>, but the Wolves trailed only briefly early in Sunday\u2019s game and shot 53.6% from the floor, hit 18 three-pointers on 46 attempts and scored 37 points off 18 Kings turnovers.<\/p>\n\u201cAnother complete game both ends of the floor,\u201d Wolves coach Chris Finch told reporters after the game. \u201cI thought we were really sharp, which is what we needed to be. Built on the performances of the other day, and it continued into today. Really, really pleased with how we\u2019re starting games defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his third game back from a hamstring injury that caused him to miss four games, Edwards shot 7-for-16 from the floor, 5-for-11 from three-point range and 7-for-8 from the free-throw line. He scored 37 points Friday against the Jazz and is now 12-for-23 on three-pointers over his past two games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m feeling like myself again,\u201d Edwards said from the team\u2019s locker room. \u201cJust trying to string along some games to get my rhythm back, but feeling good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jaden McDaniels scored 21 points, Rudy Gobert had 19 points, 12 rebounds and a season-high five blocks and Julius Randle also had 19 points as the Wolves starters shot 57.6% from the floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he comes alive like that and plays like that, that really carries our defense,\u201d Finch said of Gobert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SACRAMENTO, CALIF. \u2013 The Timberwolves have found playing in California\u2019s capital city to their liking in recent years.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":282757,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[355,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-282756","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-nba","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282756"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282756\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
