On Saturday night, while much of the sports-viewing population watched the Seahawks kick the tar out of the 49ers, Anthony Edwards and Victor Wembanyama faced off in a duel for the ages.
Edwards had 55 points to Wembanyama’s 39, but the Spurs wound up victorious, beating the Timberwolves 126-123 to best Minnesota’s superstar on a career night. It was a tremendous display of hoops between two of the best teams in the West, but the fourth quarter in particular was an absolute show. Edwards and Wembanyama went toe-to-toe in the final frame, combining to score a whopping 40 points in the final 12 minutes. It was, to put it simply, awesome.
