Ant Edwards returned after missing 10 of 12 games and immediately ended Houston's 8-game win streak with a dagger three.

Anthony Edwards returned to the Timberwolves lineup after missing 10 of the last 12 games, and immediately reminded the league what happens when you let a walking bucket sit out long enough to get hungry. Ant hit a dagger three in the final minute to seal a 136-132 win over Houston, snapping the Rockets' 8-game winning streak.

The game was an instant classic. Amen Thompson was absolutely ridiculous for Houston with a career-high 41 points on 17-of-22 shooting — a performance that would've been the story of the night in any other game. But Edwards had the last word, and that's what separates the great ones.

Minnesota needed this win badly with playoff positioning still up for grabs. Edwards' return changes everything for the Wolves. When he's on the floor, this team's ceiling is a championship. When he's not, they're a Play-In team. It's that simple.
