GAME STORY | Wolves survive dramatic overtime to beat Nuggets in Game 4, extend series back to Denver
Edwards’ gut-check 3-pointer, with 11 seconds left in overtime Sunday night, saved Minnesota’s season and extended this first-round series, at least, for one more game.
Minnesota was up 12 points with less than three minutes left in regulation when Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. refused to quit. Together, they rode a storm of 3-pointers to force overtime. But in the extra session, the T-Wolves outscored Denver 18-12 to stave off elimination. But Edwards, whose slashing drives and clutch jumpers stoked a raucous crowd, wasn’t ready to head into the offseason.When the Wolves showed Iowa women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark on the big screen early in the third quarter, it was, to that point, the loudest the Target Center had been all game. That changed once Edwards took over. With devastating jumpers and scintillating drives, he had Wolves fans hanging on his every move. His brilliance was met, bucket for bucket, by Jokic.
