Anthony Edwards with a career-high 53 points. He was 10-15 from 3 and rest of team was 6-35.
Body language for the group was about as noticeable as it’s been all season. Very little energy. – 9:28 PM

A 40-ball for Cade Cunningham, and the Pistons can get to .500 on Monday with a win over Portland.
In a weird sense of irony, that disastrous losing streak started at home last year with a loss to Portland.
Or a symbol of how far they’ve come – 9:25 PM

Anthony Edwards saying that he doesn’t want to spend is nights passing the ball was quite possibly one of the worst things he could have said. Minnesota has not played like a team that likes each other tonight – 9:15 PM

A shootout of sorts here in Detroit. Ant on his way to 50, with 38 of the Wolves’ 57 points. Cade Cunningham with 30-5-4 and his team leads by 18 – 8:37 PM

After saying scoring was hard with all the double teams, Anthony Edwards has 26 points in the first half. Problem is his teammates had just 17. 10 turnovers for the Wolves, who trail 55-43 at the half.
In the “we didn’t need him” department, Malik Beasley w/ 17 for DET. – 8:09 PM

Smart tactic from the Detroit scoreboard people … showing people in Vikings gear on the scoreboard as Reid was shooting his FTs, prompting the crowd to boo during the attempts. Cunningham beats the buzzer and Detroit leads 33-28 after one. – 7:39 PM

Cade Cunningham struggled last night against Charlotte. He’s playing the opening minutes tonight with extra bounce, and knows Anthony Edwards is on the other side – 7:13 PM

If Ball-Mitchell-Tatum-Giannis-Towns start for the East I’m assuming reserves will be: Garland, Brown, Young, Brunson, Mobley, Lillard and maybe Embiid?
With Maxey/Cunningham/Herro next up.
That’s assuming reserves are still 2 G, 3FC, 2 WC. – 1:40 PM

Heat guard Tyler Herro ranks ninth among East guards in the initial returns of fan balloting for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. Ninth is … surprisingly low.
Those ahead of Herro are Ball, Mitchell, Lillard, Brunson, Young, Cunningham, Maxey and Poole. – 1:02 PM

Omari Sankofa II: JB on Ant: “You don’t aim to give up 50 to anybody, but you manage the game as it comes to you … he’s a hell of a player.
You have to tip your hat to him. But at the end of the day, we scored more points than them.” -via x.com

“I don’t know what to do, honestly,” Edwards said. “But it’s not fun, of course. Because I don’t want to look like I’m not trying,
or not as good as I am because I am. But I can’t show it because I’m getting double-teamed.” -via New York Times
/ January 4, 2025
According to shot tracking by Basketball Reference, Edwards has only 17 dunk attempts in 33 games this season. His dunk rate was nearly twice as high last season when he had a career-high 96 dunk attempts in 97 games, including the playoffs

Having a healthy offseason with the absence of any rehabilitation, as Cade Cunningham had in the past, also has helped. “It’s a blessing. It’s everything I’ve wanted,” he said with a smile.
“This offseason was a big offseason for me to be healthy and really get to work throughout. It was a huge offseason. “It’s just good that we’re getting to win and I’m helping my team. That’s the thing I’ve wanted to do the most.” -via New York Times

The habits he’s built have been productive, not destructive. His mentality fortified, not folded. His childhood dreams actualized, not erased. “I always wanted to be in the NBA, and I never saw myself not being a star,” Cunningham said. “I wanted to be a star. I’m on track, and I’ve just got to continue to grow,
continue to get better and continue to learn.” -via New York Times
