Anthony Edwards

When the game hangs in the balance, Anthony Edwards lives for these moments - and the Minnesota faithful at Target Center know exactly what's coming. With his Timberwolves down two to the defending champion Thunder and just 38 seconds remaining, the explosive guard creates separation with his signature stepback, elevating from 24 feet out. The ball arcs through the December air before splashing through pure, giving Minnesota a 110-107 lead and sending the crowd of 18,978 into a frenzy. But Ant wasn't done - in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it defensive clinic, he grabbed a crucial rebound on the next possession, then put an exclamation point on the sequence by stripping the ball from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with one second left to seal the victory. Edwards' clutch 26-point, 12-rebound performance knocked off Oklahoma City, handing the reigning NBA champions just their third loss of the season in Minnesota's 112-107 statement win on December 27, 2025.
