Is everyone on the Anthony Edwards-LaMelo Ball bandwagon yet? If not, you probably don't make smart decisions in life.
Edwards and Ball showed that the offseason hype about their new tandem was not hot air. They led the Minnesota Timberwolves past the Miami Heat, 131-106, in their season opener on Wednesday at Kaseya Center.
Edwards had a game-high 45 points, including nine three-pointers, 10 rebounds, three assists, and two steals.
Ball added 21 points, including five three-pointers, two rebounds, six assists, and two steals.
