Anthony Edwards

The good news, for the Utah Jazz, is that the NBA’s 82-game scheduling rules permit only three or four matchups per season against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The bad news? Anthony Edwards’ unrivaled athleticism and around-the-rim creativity seem to guarantee a replayable highlight whenever the two go head-to-head. A year and two days removed from 2023-24’s “Dunk Heard Around the World,” Edwards — needing all of eight minutes to begin encore hunting — punishes Utah’s unwise decision to triple team his teammate’s post-up, immediately rocketing towards the floor's middle. Enjoying a dunker’s dream scenario with his rim-running cut completely uncovered, Minnesota’s highflying guard straps on his jetpack before dropping a one-handed boom over Walker Kessler’s helpless 7-foot frame. “Austin 3:16” went down in history, but “Anthony 3:16” wasn’t too shabby either, as Edwards used March 16, 2025’s win to rattle off a 41-point masterpiece (on 16-of-27) shooting, paired with a two-rebound, two-assist, one-steal, five-triple complement. Undefeated throughout the month to that point, the Wolves rode Edwards’ extraordinary play to an eighth-consecutive victory.
