Edwards Hits Dagger Three as Wolves Snap Rockets' 8-Game Win Streak

Anthony Edwards proved once again why he's built for the biggest moments. With the Timberwolves clinging to a slim lead, Edwards drilled a dagger three-pointer with under a minute remaining to seal a 136-132 victory over the Houston Rockets, snapping Houston's eight-game winning streak.

The loss locked the Rockets into the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference, while the Wolves kept their own seeding hopes alive. Amen Thompson was phenomenal in defeat, pouring in 41 points on 17-of-22 shooting with 7-of-7 from the free throw line — a career night that would've been the story on any other night.

But Edwards had the final word. The Wolves needed every bit of his clutch shooting in a game that felt like a playoff preview. If these two teams meet in the postseason, buckle up.
