The Boston Celtics narrowly defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 118-115 on Thursday, Jan. 2, and it was largely because of how well the Boston defense shut down guard Anthony Edwards.

Edwards was kept to only 15 points that game. While this may seem like a normal amount, the two-time NBA All-Star is currently averaging 24.5 points per game this season. Naturally, Edwards was left frustrated.

Additionally, Celtics star center Kristaps Porzingis has made his triumphant return against the Houston Rockets after missing the last four games with a sprained ankle. He received the injury against Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers on Christmas Day.

Finally, an NBA insider has shared concerns regarding whether Boston could once again win the NBA Championship after a dominant showing last season.
