Anthony Edwards’ 26-foot three point attempt with 32 seconds left would have given the Wolves their first lead since late in the first quarter. Unfortunately for Minnesota the attempt rimmed out and the Celtics would hold on and escape with a win Wednesday night.
Minnesota closed the third quarter on a 12-4 run to draw within six of Boston to set up a competitive final quarter. The Wolves came within two points of Boston several times over the final four mintues of the game but couldn’t make the go-ahead shot.
Boston’s 104-102 win over Minnesota is the Wolves’ fifth straight home loss, dropping them back to .500 with 12 games left in the season.
