Also excelling in that game was Jaylen Brown, who ranks sixth among East frontcourt players after scoring 35 points against the Timberwolves. Tatum and Brown are the only players not named Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat.

More News update:
Guard Anthony Edwards of the Timberwolves is still improving his clutch performances.
It was a display of advancement and contrast to watch Anthony Edwards and Jayson Tatum play for the Timberwolves on Wednesday in Boston.
Tatum and Edwards’ approaches to attack stood in stark contrast. Before opting for a difficult jumper, Edwards dribbled out the clock many times. That is, provided he isn’t double-teamed late in the shot clock, which frequently puts Minnesota in a predicament where they have to commit a turnover or a low-percentage, one-pass attempt.
