The Timberwolves are 1-0 after their 118-114 victory over the Trail Blazers. It was the first time in three years that Minnesota won its season opener. Unsurprisingly, Anthony Edwards was the star, finishing with 41 points and halting his trend of subpar outings to start the year.
He wasn’t the only one who was off to a great start, though, as the offensive jump that Wolves fans hoped would occur from Jaden McDaniels this season was seen, at least for one game.

Now in his sixth season, the 6-foot-9 McDaniels just turned 25 late last month.
