Anthony Edwards

With their season on the line, the Minnesota Timberwolves called upon Anthony Edwards to extend it. Smart choice. The 21-year-old first-time All-Star refused to let his squad be swept out of the First Round by the Denver Nuggets, instead using an evasive dribble maneuver to create some space between he and Aaron Gordon before calmly burying a clutch overtime 3-pointer with 11.1 seconds to play. The huge triple gave the Timberwolves a four-point cushion, icing the game as Edwards’ 34 points, six rebounds, five assists, two steals, three blocks and five treys helped his team stave off elimination with a thrilling 114-108 win on April 23, 2023.
