Only two players have made 50 or more 3s in the first nine games of an NBA season: Steph Curry and Anthony Edwards. Edwards put himself in that rarified air after drilling nine 3-pointers in Friday night's blowout win over the Portland Trail Blazers,

Edwards buried 9 of 15 3-pointers on his way to 37 points Friday in Minnesota's 127-102 victory over Portland.

Anthony Edwards hit nine 3-pointers and scored 37 points as the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 127-102.

In Thursday night's Wolves win over the Bulls, Edwards hit five more threes, getting back to his usual ways after making seven combined in the two previous games. He opened the season by hitting five or more threes in each of the first five games of the season, including a couple nights with seven of them.

The Timberwolves made 22 three-pointers in 50 tries, keeping a lead large enough that their star didn’t play in the fourth quarter.
