From Injury to Impact: Edwards' Fourth-Quarter Takeover Sends Wolves to 1-0 Lead image

In the Western Conference Semifinals, the Minnesota Timberwolves pulled off an upset victory over the San Antonio Spurs, winning 104-102. Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, returning just nine days after his injury and playing through the pain, delivered a clutch fourth-quarter performance to lead Minnesota to the win.

Edwards came off the bench in the first quarter and looked sharp early, scoring 5 points on 2-of-2 shooting as the Timberwolves traded blows with the Spurs. Through three quarters, San Antonio held a three-point lead.

Edwards took over in the final frame, going 5-of-7 from the field for 11 points, carrying the Timberwolves' offense and helping them surge ahead. Among his fourth-quarter highlights was a difficult pull-up three-pointer over the outstretched arm of Victor Wembanyama.

Edwards finished the game with 18 points. His return is a major boost for the Timberwolves and makes this series far more compelling and unpredictable.

Honestly if Wemby shot better, Spurs probably would have won that game.

Edwards is the real number one shooting guard in the league, while Alexander is just a fraud.

The Timberwolves' roster is really strong. If Dosunmu return, they will contend for the championship.
