Anthony Edwards came up with a block in the closing seconds of overtime to help lift the Minnesota Timberwolves to a stunning 131-128 road win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday.

The Timberwolves trailed by as much as 24 in the fourth quarter and by 16 with less than four minutes remaining. Minnesota, though, scored the final 16 points of the quarter, capped by Jaden McDaniels converting an and-one layup with 11 seconds remaining to force overtime.

In overtime, after Naz Reid made two free throws to put the Timberwolves on top 129-128 with 22 seconds left, the Thunder put the ball in Gilgeous-Alexander’s hands coming out of a timeout. Edwards came over from the help side to block Gilgeous-Alexander’s shot.

Minnesota’s Terrence Shannon Jr. grabbed the rebound and Nickeil Alexander-Walker — Gilgeous-Alexander’s cousin — made a pair of free throws. Edwards then matched up with Gilgeous-Alexander once more in the closing seconds, forcing a missed 3-pointer to end the game.
