MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Anthony Edwards is usually good for at least one highlight-worthy play per game for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
He brought Timberwolves’ fans to their feet Sunday with a dunk on Brook Lopez, despite an ugly loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at Target Center.

The backstory:
It was with a little more than six minutes left in the third quarter, and the Timberwolves trailed the Clippers 63-54. Edwards beat Derrick Jones Jr. off the dribble into the lane, where Lopez was waiting.
Lopez was too slow to react, and for whatever reason, didn’t make a business decision and get out of the way. Instead, Edwards rose over the flat-flooted Lopez and threw down a powerful right-handed dunk in his face.
It was reminiscent of Edwards putting John Collins on a poster in March of 2024, a play that actually forced Collins to leave the game with a concussion.

What we know:
Unfortunately for the Timberwolves, Edwards’ monster dunk was about the only highlight of an otherwise miserable afternoon. He finished with 23 points, but Kawhi Leonard went off for 41 points as the Clippers ran away with a 115-96 victory.
The Timberwolves fell to 32-22 on the season and host the Atlanta Hawks Monday night.
