[Saba Sports News] Anthony Edwards delivered a standout performance against the Indiana Pacers, propelling the Minnesota Timberwolves to a thrilling 113-111 victory on the road at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Matching his season-high, Edwards scored 44 points, but his contribution in the final moments truly highlighted his impact.
In the closing minute, with the game tied, Edwards hit a crucial three-pointer, followed by a jumper, and then an off-balance floater, continually keeping the Timberwolves ahead.
Despite a late challenge from the Pacers, Edwards’ defensive prowess shone with a spectacular block, even hitting his head on the rim due to his elevation. This game-winning effort was particularly significant as it followed the news of Karl-Anthony Towns’ injury, hinting that Edwards might be taking on a heavier load for the remainder of the season.
Given this performance, the 22-year-old star seems more than ready to rise to the occasion.
