The Minnesota Timberwolves earned a rare victory on Sunday night as Malik Beasley and Anthony Edwards each scored 23 points in a 109-104 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Timberwolves’ night was fueled early by the No. 1 overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft as Edwards attacked the rim and looked aggressive in his second career start.
