T-wolves struggling to get Edwards going, as another off game has them down 2-0 and headed to Dallas
Anthony Edwards had the ball for Minnesota with a two-point lead and threw the ball out of bounds with 13 seconds left against Dallas in the Western Conference finals
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony Edwards drove toward the lane with the time on the clock dwindling and the Minnesota Timberwolves clinging to a two-point lead on the Dallas Mavericks.
Edwards stopped at the foul line as three Mavericks defenders closed in, hesitating to shoot on another off night for the 22-year-old guard. He looked for a step-through to his right. Then he pivoted left, went airborne and, not seeing a path to the basket he liked, flicked a pass toward the sideline for Naz Reid that sailed out of bounds with 13 seconds to go.
Wolves coach Chris Finch could only wince after another possession gone wrong for his team. Then came the defensive gaffe, to make that turnover even worse.
Rudy Gobert switched with Jaden McDaniels to guard Luka Doncic at the top of the key, where the go-ahead 3-pointer was drained with 3 seconds left to give the Mavericks a 109-108 victory on Friday night.
