The Lakers suck everyone, including me, into some LeBron MVP talk.

The Timberwolves get two 40-point performances in one game.

The Atlanta Hawks won their seven straight, and a throwback Russell Westbrook performance

had me a little teary-eyed.

I'm not going to lie. Hey, I'm Tasmelis,

and this is what you need to know in the NBA for Friday, March 19th. Yes, good morning,

everybody. Minnesota in Phoenix, the young wolves versus the young sons turned out to be a

great one the sons looked to have this game going into the fourth they were up eight but then the

two-man game of Carl Anthony towns and rookie Anthony Edwards took over I guess Minnesota didn't mess up with

that number one pick cat and Edwards playing the pick and roll going back and forth to each other, baby.

Edwards was able to get into the lane and score with contact playing off Kat.

I had to stop and double check to see how tall Edwards is because he looks a lot bigger than 6'4.

I guess it's just the way the number one pick plays.

He's 19 years old, but he's not afraid of the lane. He gets in there. He had 13 free throw

attempts in this game, although he can score from the outside too. Anthony Edwards had a

career high. 42 points at 19 years of age. He's the third youngest player to score 40 points. He scored 105 points over his last

three games, the first teenager ever to score 100 points in a three game span. The other two teenagers

to score 40 points? Stream team. Can you come through for me? Can you come through if you're on

YouTube? You don't have a lot of time. Two guys have scored 90 or 40 points at 19 years of age.

LeBron and Kevin Durant. Carmelo Anthony also did it, but he was older than Anthony Edwards.

Beautiful stuff playing off each other. Towns had 41 in this game. The fifth pair of teammates since 2010 to score 40 in a game. The wolves have won three of five. That is great for them. Anthony Edwards also becoming a great quote at 19 years of age on his teammate Wancho Hernan Gomez. He said quote, Wancho can shoot the piss out of the ball.

I told him that's what you get paid to do.
