The home team clinches awaited victory

Heading into the game on Tuesday, there were two opponents the audience had their eyes on. Quite possibly, Suni Lee too: Chet Holmgren – the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year from Oklahoma City Thunder, and Anthony Edwards – the most sellable entity on the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, with three quarters on the board, Edwards put up 21 points, four rebounds, and one assist in 28 minutes before facing a fall during dunking. Even with an injury scare, it was a win for Edwards and the Timberwolves in the anticipated head-on.
