Tim MacMahon explains what LaMelo Ball is doing to keep Timberwolves relevant even without Anthony Edwards

Minnesota have put together a five-game winning streak despite Edwards undergoing a knee procedure that is expected to keep him out for two months. However, it is his defensive improvement that has caught MacMahon’s attention.

Ball has averaged 20.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.8 steals across the eight games Edwards has missed.
