Anthony Edwards had a bad night against the Bulls. The Wolves All-Star shot 0/5 at 3-points, lost 6 balls and only scored 19 points. The fault, in large part, of Alex Carusonotable for staying in Minnesota's trailing legs.
To the point, in the second period, of tearing one of his shoes, Kobe 4. “He was incredible”, declared Billy Donovan. “He handled Edwards, moved his feet well. He did a remarkable job, blowing up his shoe. He was crazy. »
But wasn't he hot after his first period? We can say that since he returned to the locker room with 15 points at 5/5 at 3-pts. In the second period, he shot 2/3 at 3-points and therefore finished with 21 points (5 assists and 5 steals) at 7/8 behind the arc. He had never scored so many winning baskets in a match.
Very skillful for some time
This confirms his current skill since, for ten matches, the former Lakers player has been lethal at 3-points with a superb 55% success rate.
“I tried to concentrate during the All-Star Game break and, when it started again, to stay true to my work. I tried to be aggressive”book Alex Caruso. “I think it shows in these last matches. I shoot well because I know I'm going to get the shots and I have confidence in the work I've done. »
This victory against the Wolves confirms that with a Caruso of this level, the Bulls can hope to come out on top during the play-in. “I think that when you are focused, you can beat anyone,” explains the one who occupies, with his teammates, ninth place in the Eastern Conference. “It’s about playing against ourselves. We must not let ourselves be discouraged after a defeat against Brooklyn or Washington, we must come back and play well. We play to go to the playoffs. »
