Make no mistake: Anthony Edwards delivered when it mattered most, sealing the win with a late driving layup that sent the game to overtime and turning a high-scoring duel into a 149-142 victory for the Minnesota Timberwolves over the New Orleans Pelicans. Edwards poured in 34 of his season-best 44 points after halftime, leaving a trail of momentum in his wake.
Entering the night, Edwards had been averaging 37.2 points over his previous five games, yet he faced a rough start from beyond the arc. He misfired on four of his first five three-point attempts, struggling to find his balance early on. Nevertheless, he flipped the script after the break, hitting 5 of 8 from three-point territory to spark a relentless offensive onslaught.
In the extra session, Julius Randle stepped up for Minnesota, contributing eight points in overtime to push the Timberwolves past New Orleans. The late surge from Edwards, combined with Randle’s clutch scoring, capped off a remarkable comeback and produced a high-scoring, hard-fought win for Minnesota.
