Anthony Edwards opened the NBA season like a man on a mission, going absolutely nuclear against Miami and matching a scoring feat previously owned only by Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. The Timberwolves sent a message to the entire league on night one — Ant is not playing around.
Speaking of opening statements, UFC three thirty three is set to deliver fireworks out of Abu Dhabi this weekend, with two titles on the line and a featherweight legacy at stake.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
