Go ahead and etch it in stone for the umpteenth time: Anthony Davis is one of the best players in the world and the Minnesota Timberwolves are horrendously allergic to third quarters.
Anthony Davis came out hotter than a firecracker, scoring 21 points on 8-11 from the floor in the first quarter. He would go on to finish with 45 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 threes and 2 steals. Tonight’s game marked the 10th time AD has surpassed the 40-point barrier in his career — that’s 5 more times than Chris Paul was able to manage while during his tenure in New Orleans.
