When the conversation about bucket-getters in a Minnesota Timberwolves uniform comes about, it’s likely that, in today’s generation, Anthony Edwards’ name and face are the first to come to mind. In the event that they didn’t, the steadily-elevating fifth-year star had the perfect method for swinging the results further into his favor: a record-breaking pull-up triple from the Timberwolves’ center-court logo. Inevitably poised for victory with Minnesota ahead by 25 in the late fourth, Edwards — one 3-pointer shy of the franchise’s all-time trifecta record at just 23 — takes an isolation, visibly pondering the idea of an immediate shot attempt from the parking lot. One of unflappable confidence and self-belief, Edwards lets a 32-footer launch free, accurately tying a historic bow on Minnesota’s “Rivals Week” demolition of the Denver Nuggets on January 25, 2025. Getting the better of his Western Conference foes once more, Edwards was superb on the primetime stage, netting 34 points (on 14-of-23 shooting), nine assists, three 3-pointers, and a +27 plus-minus. · Jan 26, 2025
