Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Box Score on Feb 01, 2023

Anthony Edwards saved four of his 27 points for the final 1:43 of overtime as the Minnesota Timberwolves outlasted the Golden State Warriors 119-114 on Wednesday night in Minneapolis.

After missing their first four shots of overtime and watching an Andrew Wiggins dunk put Golden State up 112-110, the Timberwolves got a second chance on their fifth possession. Kyle Anderson swatted a Taurean Prince miss to Austin Rivers, who in turn found Prince for the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:58 remaining.

Edwards scored on a drive and a 10-footer on Minnesota's next two possessions, and the Timberwolves took advantage of the Warriors' 2-for-8 shooting in overtime to avenge an earlier 137-114 home defeat to Golden State and win for the fourth time in their past five games.
