πΊ Ant-Man’s Takeover: Edwards Drops 40 as Wolves Mauled Mavericks! ππ₯
The Minnesota Timberwolves returned from the All-Star break exactly how they left it—with Anthony Edwards looking like the best player on the planet. Fresh off his 2026 All-Star Game MVP honors in Los Angeles, "Ant" delivered a masterpiece at Target Center, dropping 40 points to lead Minnesota to a convincing 122-111 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
The win marks Minnesota's third straight victory and further cements their status as a powerhouse in the Western Conference.
π‘️ Gobert Rules the Paint
While Edwards handled the perimeter, Rudy Gobert was an absolute force at the rim. The "Stifle Tower" dominated the glass with a massive double-double:
22 Points
17 Rebounds
3 Blocks
Gobert’s presence made life miserable for the Mavs, who were playing without rookie sensation Cooper Flagg (foot injury). Minnesota out-rebounded Dallas 54-46, largely thanks to Rudy’s 10 offensive boards.
✨ The Naz Reid Effect
As always, the "Naz Reid" chants echoed through the arena. Coming off the bench, Reid provided the spark that extinguished any Dallas comeback hopes:
21 Points
7 Rebounds
4 Assists | 2 Blocks
4 Three-Pointers
Reid’s versatility was on full display, highlighted by a viral behind-the-back move into a poster slam over Daniel Gafford that set the internet on fire.
