Anthony Edwards took it upon himself to lift up a struggling Timberwolves offense and put on a show Saturday night, scoring a career-high 53 points with 10 made 3-pointers. It wasn't enough, the Timberwolves lost to the Pistons in Detroit 119-105.

It requires patience and perspective, and that is not always easy for a player as young and ambitious as Edwards.

Edwards had 26 of their 43 first-half points and was 6-for-9 from three-point range. He shot 8-for15 overall; his teammates shot just 6-for-22. The bench combined to shoot 3-for-10 while Randle was 1-for-5. For Detroit, Cunningham finished the half with 20 while Beasley had 17.
