PORTLAND, Ore. – For a good portion of Tuesday night, the Trail Blazers were in the zone, as in a 2-3 zone on defense.
In the second half, Anthony Edwards was also in the zone, as in, he put the Wolves on his back on a night when little else was working.
Edwards willed a sluggish Wolves team to a 109-107 win over Portland with a dynamic fourth-quarter performance in which he took the game over. He finished with 40 points, 14 coming in the fourth when he converted a four-point play, hit another stepback three and a driving three-point play during a crucial stretch that turned a 90-87 Wolves deficit with 8 minutes, 4 seconds to play into a 106-97 lead with 3:06 to play.
