Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was named a reserve for the Western Conference All-Star Team Thursday night.

Head coach Chris Finch was ejected in the third quarter after picking up his second technical foul, forcing Anthony Edwards to step in and hold back his furious coach before things escalated further.

With a logo three-pointer in Minnesota's dominant 133–104 win over the Denver Nuggets, Edwards passed former teammate and current New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns to become the Timberwolves' all-time leader in three-pointers made.

Twice this season they’ve beaten Denver. Minnesota has been stellar offensively on both occasions. It all stems from Edwards. Denver simply doesn’t have an answer for the guard. The Nuggets don’t have a premier perimeter defender to deter Edwards, nor do they have a rim protector to make him think twice about being aggressive.

Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the Denver Nuggets at the Target Center. The Timberwolves won by a score of 133-10

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony Edwards scored 34 points and became the Minnesota Timberwolves’ career leader in 3-pointers in a 133-104 victory over the Denver Nuggets 133-104 on Saturday. Edwards made 14 of 23 shots from the floor and scored 23 points in the second half as Minnesota pulled away after leading by 11 at halftime.

The NBA head coaches have to pick two guards, three frontcourt players and two "wild card" players at any position for the reserves. The West All-Stars have five frontcourt reserves in Davis, Jackson Jr., Sengun, Wembanyama and Jalen Williams.

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch has been cranky all week, culminating in his first career ejection on Wednesday. But the Wolves have continued winning, suggesting a method to the madness.
