He had ample reason for his candor, as his team had just secured a significant 107–90 victory against the Golden State Warriors. This triumph could play a crucial role in playoff positioning later in the season. Following the game, Edwards didn’t shy away from commending teammates Julius Randle and Naz Reid for their standout defensive performances, using some choice words to express his admiration.
“Everyone is defending at an elite level,” Edwards remarked, according to Minnesota reporter Dane Moore. “Naz and Julius are really stepping up their defense. Honestly, I’ve never seen them defend like this before. It’s absolutely amazing. And look at (Randle) right here, get him on camera… he’s really out here playing hard.”

Statistics echo Edwards’ observations: Randle is achieving a four-year peak with 0.8 steals per game and is on track to amass one of the highest defensive win shares of his 11-year career.
Currently on a four-game winning streak, the Timberwolves hold a 12-10 record and are positioned ninth in the Western Conference, just one game behind the Los Angeles Clippers for a guaranteed playoff spot.
