Incredible Edwards executed with 44 points for the Rockets, valuable win for the Suns over the Pacers

The one-time NBA draft pick was in terrific form, finishing the game with 44 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and doing pretty much anything for the — once again, Gober and Towns-less Wolves — who were improving Record until 24-24.

DiAngelo Russell with 23 points and Nathan Knight with 19 points trailed Edwards in performance for a Minnesota who climbed to 6th in the west.

For the Rockets, who suffered their 13th straight loss, Alperen Sengun had 19 points and 16 rebounds and Kenyon Martin had 15 points while Jaylen Green had 10 points on a shooting of 3/13.
