Timberwolves Stage Historic Comeback to Defeat Rockets

Anthony Edwards' clutch three-pointer caps a 23-6 fourth-quarter run, securing Minnesota's largest fourth-quarter road comeback since 2003.

Anthony Edwards hit a decisive step-back three-pointer with 23.2 seconds left, completing a 23-6 Timberwolves run and overcoming a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter.
Julius Randle led Minnesota with 27 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, while Edwards added 24 points and Donte DiVincenzo contributed 22 off the bench.
The Rockets' Alperen Sengun delivered a season-high 38 points and 12 rebounds but missed key free throws in the final moments of the game.
The Timberwolves' victory marked the first time in 20 years that a team overcame a 15+ point deficit in the final five minutes on the road against a .700+ win percentage opponent.
This win, following a Christmas Day victory over Dallas, improves the Timberwolves' record to 16-14 as they prepare to host the Spurs on Sunday.
