Anthony Edwards Clutch Floater Beats Victor Wembanyama

Anthony Edwards admitted, "I was like, ah s--t," when 7'4" Victor Wembanyama switched onto him, but Edwards still spun by him and hit the floater that won Minnesota a 104-103 game. Edwards finished with 23 points and is enjoying a career year (29.1 ppg, 50.1 percent FG, 41.3 percent 3). Both teams sit near the top of the West, with San Antonio 27-12 and Minnesota 26-14. Merlin sees more than a highlight reel. Wembanyama (24.1/11.3/2.9) remains a matchup nightmare even with minutes limits, so Edwards proving he can finish through length raises the Wolves’ ceiling. This close game is a true measuring stick: Minnesota needs that killer instinct often, and the Spurs must learn late-game answers with their young giant on the floor.
