Tyrese Maxey Posterizes Anthony Edwards in Sixers Rout Timberwolves

Tyrese Maxey delivered a highlight dunk over Anthony Edwards during Sunday’s 135-108 win, rocking the rim in the third quarter and staring down Edwards as the Sixers pulled away. Maxey scored a game-high 39 points, while Edwards led the Timberwolves with 28. After the game Edwards called Maxey "incredible" and admitted the Sixers star got the better of him on that poster play. Merlin sees more than a single dunk. Moments like that shift momentum and personal pride, and with the teams not meeting again until April 3, Edwards will be filing away the image. If Minnesota wants to keep pace in the West, Edwards must turn that frustration into sharper defense and bigger offense, because Maxey is reminding the league he can take over nights.
