Anthony Edwards scored 41 points as the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Houston Rockets 127–114 on Thursday night. Edwards shot 11-of-25 from the field despite some physical defense from Dillon Brooks that may have crossed the line in Edwards's opinion.
About midway through the second quarter Brooks caught Edwards in the face and the Wolves' star went down. Brooks then stood over Edwards. When play continued the two exchanged words and got tangled up as they ran up the court. Play was stopped, but no fouls were called.
