INDIANAPOLIS – The Timberwolves defense continued its limp to the All-Star break on Sunday, so if the Wolves were going to come out of a Sunday afternoon matchup against the Pacers, they were going to need to just outscore Indiana.
Enter Anthony Edwards. Edwards has said his ailing knee has been feeling better of late. It looked like it in the Wolves' 129-120 victory.
Edwards scored 37 to go with four assists and four steals as he prevented the Wolves from losing an 18-point lead in the second-half to an Indiana team that detonated its roster at the trade deadline. In the fourth quarter with the Wolves up 112-108 with 7 minutes, 11 seconds remaining, Edwards blocked Indiana's Terry Taylor, then came down to hit a three. After Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton answered with a three, Edwards set up Patrick Beverley for another three, forcing an Indiana timeout.
