The Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Toronto Raptors on Friday night, but it didn’t stop Anthony Edwards from throwing down the dunk of the season.
Late in the third quarter, Edwards got the ball on the baseline and drove to the rim. With Yuta Watanabe standing in his way, Edwards elevated to put the 6-foot-9 forward on a poster and into highlight reels across the country.
