WOLVES COUNTING ON TEAMWORK

Minnesota need to be tighter and cleaner against Nets as they seek to bounce back from narrow loss
-
Coming off his sixth 40-point outing of the National Basketball Association season, Anthony Edwards hopes to help the Minnesota Timberwolves earn their fourth straight home win on Dec 27 night (Dec 28 morning, Singapore time) when they face the improving Brooklyn Nets.
Edwards dazzled with a 44-point showing in a Christmas Day showcase against the Denver Nuggets, but it was not good enough because of Nikola Jokic’s 56-point triple-double.
He tied his season high in points as the Timberwolves absorbed a 142-138 overtime loss. The guard will be Minnesota’s key man against the Nets, but his coach has also urged his men to play as a team to bounce back from their defeat.
“We're not going anywhere,” Chris Finch said. “I didn’t think we played very good basketball in the third quarter (against Denver).
“I thought we were way better from the middle of the third quarter on. We're always going to respond.”
The Wolves are 2-4 when Edwards scores at least 40 points after going 7-2 in those games last season. The 142 points conceded tied a season high, as did the 19 three-pointers by the Nuggets.
