Anthony Edwards breaks NBA record with hot start to season

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is off to a tremendous start this season. He’s currently averaging 27.7 points and 6.3 rebounds through three games.

After knocking down five threes against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday, Edwards joined four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry and four-time All Star Kemba Walker as the only players to hit five or more three-pointers in each of the first three games of the season.
