Edwards caps 39-point performance with unlikely 3 as Timberwolves hold off Celtics 119-115
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Anthony Edwards scored 39 points, including an unlikely 3-pointer that sealed the game, and the Minnesota Timberwolves held off the Boston Celtics 119-115 on Saturday.
Julius Randle had 16 points and Donte DiVincenzo added 15 for the Timberwolves, who put six players in double figures and beat a team with a .500 or better record for the first time in eight tries this season.
Jaylen Brown tied a season high with 41 points for Boston, which lost for just the second time in seven games. Neemias Queta tied a career best with 19 points and grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds. Derrick White scored 16.
With the Timberwolves ahead 115-112 and the shot clock winding down, Edwards briefly lost his dribble but quickly picked up the ball and lofted a 3-point prayer over White that went in with 14 seconds left.
Edwards, averaging 38.5 points over his last four games, scored nine straight to give Minnesota a 110-98 lead with 3:52 to play. That included a sequence in which Rudy Gobert grabbed a rebound of Edwards' miss and fed DiVincenzo, who quickly zipped a pass to the cutting Edwards.
But then Brown, who made a season-high 17 shots, scored five points and Queta had three in a 12-0 Celtics run to tie it with 1:38 remaining.
Edwards scored seven points and Terrence Shannon Jr. five in a 24-12 third-quarter spurt that propelled Minnesota to a 94-92 lead heading to the fourth.
Listed as questionable on the team’s injury report due to low back spasms, Brown scored 27 points in the first half - 19 in the first quarter - and Boston led 69-59 at the break.
Brown became the first player in the play-by-play era to record at least 27 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals in the first half.
Celtics: Play at Cleveland on Sunday night.
Timberwolves: Host the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night.
