Anthony Edwards just etched his name into Timberwolves history - and he did it in style.
In Sunday night’s 125-112 win over the San Antonio Spurs, Edwards dropped 32 points on a scorching 13-of-18 shooting, including 4-of-6 from deep. It marked the 102nd time in his career he’s scored 30 or more points in a game, setting a new franchise record for the most 30-point outings in Timberwolves history.
That’s not just a stat - it’s a statement. Edwards, now in his sixth season with Minnesota, continues to solidify his status as the face of the franchise. He’s already led the Wolves to back-to-back Western Conference Finals appearances, and nights like this show he’s not just aiming for playoff runs - he’s eyeing the mountaintop.
Against a Spurs team that’s been hanging around the early-season playoff picture, Edwards was electric. He did his damage in 36 minutes, adding six assists and three rebounds to his efficient scoring night. He didn’t miss a free throw, didn’t force bad shots, and looked every bit like a player in full control of his game and his team.
But this wasn’t a one-man show.
The Timberwolves found themselves trailing by four heading into the fourth quarter, but they flipped the switch in the final 12 minutes. Minnesota outscored San Antonio 36-19 in the fourth, turning a tight battle into a double-digit win.

The key? Crisp ball movement and lights-out perimeter shooting.
Minnesota knocked down 17 threes and racked up 35 assists - both numbers that speak to a team playing with rhythm and trust. Compare that to the Spurs’ eight made threes and 17 assists, and it’s clear how the game tilted late.
Five Timberwolves finished in double figures, and the supporting cast stepped up big. Julius Randle had one of his most complete games in a Wolves uniform, finishing with 22 points, 12 assists, and six rebounds. He was efficient (9-of-15 from the field), poised, and made the right reads all night.
Donte DiVincenzo added 18 points and five boards, while Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels chipped in 15 and 13 points respectively. It was the kind of all-around performance that shows why Minnesota is a team to watch in the West - they’re not just deep, they’re connected.
With the win, the Timberwolves improved to 12-8 on the season, sliding into the sixth seed in the Western Conference. They now sit just ahead of the Suns and Warriors, while keeping pace with the Spurs, Nuggets, and Rockets.
Next up: a road test against the Pelicans on December 2. But if Edwards keeps playing like this - and the supporting cast keeps clicking - the Timberwolves won’t just be chasing wins. They’ll be chasing something bigger.
