Anthony Edwards just dropped 47 points on the Cavs with a hindered knee… he didn’t look himself early into the contest but took over when his team needed a spark. The game is better when he’s playing at his best.
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will be sidelined approximately two months after undergoing a procedure on his right knee, league sources tell me.

Kenny on playing Meleek: "I've been thinking about it since Summer League. That's a good question, why didn't you play him game one? ... A little bit matchup the first two games. ... We need that kind of third ball handler, I think that's part of it, to support Don and James because teams are trying to wear those guys down." (h/t @EjElite1)

Kenny Atkinson on why he waited until tonight to go to Meleek: “Yeah Ethan (Sands), that’s a good question. Why didn’t you play him game one? That’s very fair. You can say that. You can write that. What is this coach?” (H/T: @EjElite1 )

Real hooper.
“To see one go through the net, the flood gates can open,” Drew Rasmussen said of aiming to win Game 4 and put together a winning streak to stay alive in #WorldSeries. “We have to play up to the precedent we’ve set for ourselves and we’ve yet to do that.”

In talking with a Cavs organization member before the Philly game, they pointed to Meleek Thomas on the court and said: “I’m not going to go overboard here but that guy right there is going to help us win games this year.” 🔗 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

It’s my 5 year anniversary! 🙌🏾
Been waiting two and a half long and expensive years for this. Raise your glasses and alert your wealthy uncles. “Mr. April” is no more. 💃🏾

Big win for the #Cavs, as they come back from a double-digit deficit to beat the red-hot Timberwolves 127-125. Cleveland’s next 10 games won’t get any easier with Atlanta, Oklahoma City twice, Philadelphia again, New York twice and Miami on the ledger.

Donovan Mitchell did not want a timeout here.

Jaden McDaniels just fouled out in overtime and then received a technical foul for arguing his sixth foul. Cleveland is up 117-113 with 3:14 remaining in overtime.

Three straight buckets from Anthony Edwards. All mid-range. Basically automatic when he gets it off from there.

Peyton Watson's been huge defensively for the #Cavs and his block against Anthony Edwards to give Cleveland an opportunity to win it with 4.2 remaining is just one of four highlight blocks on the night for the newest Cavalier.

Huge tip-out by Evan Mobley to give James Harden the chance for his game-tying floater after Donovan Mitchell's 3-pointer missed. #Cavs tie it 113-113 with 10.4 left.

Opposing teams aren't waiting until the playoffs to put James Harden in the action and attack him off the dribble. They are doing it three games into the regular season.

The #Cavs are on a 20-9 run in the third quarter and take a 70-69 lead with 4:29 left in the period. Cleveland has forced five turnovers and been to the free throw line 10 times already in the quarter.

Meleek Thomas, in his #NBA debut, has eight points on 3 of 5 shooting in nearly six minutes of hoops. That's the same amount of shot attempts as Donovan Mitchell, tied for most through one quarter for the #Cavs, and Thomas leads Cleveland in scoring after one period of play.
This just in to Leek News: that shot is going up every time Meleek Thomas touches it

A much better second quarter for Peyton Watson. He's looked more decisive with his reads and attacking the basket at will, using his length and athleticism to challenge the Timberwolves at the rim on both ends of the floor.
