How did Edwards help his team win in his latest game?

Edwards is proving himself as a force to be reckoned with, as evidenced by his recent performance against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

According to ESPN, the game was a nail-biter from start to finish, with the score staying close throughout. As the clock ticked down, the court was filled with fast-paced action. Edwards stepped up and made a big shot in the lane, giving Timberwolves a 115-112 lead with just 1 minute and 43 seconds left. But the drama wasn’t over yet – Naz Reid, who had 24 points and 13 rebounds, sealed the win with a thunderous dunk after grabbing his own missed shot in the final seconds. It was certainly a thrilling finish.
