During the night came the 4th defeat in a row for Minnesota, beaten at home by the Kings. The T’Wolves have lost 7 of their last 10 games and, at the moment, would even be outside the play-in zone of the Western Conference. Yet, the season began under very different auspices and Anthony Edwards, after the setback against Sacramento, used harsh words to define the crisis in which the team finds itself
ALL THE RESULTS AND HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NBA NIGHT
If, at the beginning of the season, someone had predicted that later the first month of the Minnesota regular seasonit would even have been out of the play-in zone in the Westin all likelihood he would have been called incompetent or even crazy. THE T’Wolveson the other hand, were returning from the trip to Western Conference Finalsand even if the farewell to Karl-Anthony Towns in the trade with New York had upset short-term plans, there was little doubt that the boys of Chris Finch they would still have been protagonists. After a decent start, however, Minnesota collapsed in the last 10 gamesstumbling upon 7 defeats, 4 of which were consecutive. The last one, suffered at home in the night at the hands of Kingsin turn returning from a streak of 4 defeats in a rowhe then made clear a now undeniable crisis and of which the record of 8 wins and 10 losses it is the plastic representation. And the star of the team, after the match with Sacramentohas shown that he has clear ideas about the reasons for this crisis.
Ant and the accusation to the team
“We are too soft” he began Anthony Edwards commenting on yet another defeat suffered by his team, “we thought defense was our strong pointbut this is not the case and it has been since the beginning of the season that we can’t find a solution to our problems”. Anttrying to mask his frustration behind a forced smile, then continued his analysis of the crisis that grips him Minnesota: “We are a team of kids and we are soft, not so much towards the other teams, but within ourselves. We can’t even talk to each otherwe’re just a bunch of kids.” The conclusion of Edwards, that against i Kings he scored 29 points but shooting 9/24 from the fieldthen, it is as simple as it is peremptory: “We just can’t continue down this path”.
