Anthony Edwards ensured the Timberwolves left Golden 1 Center with a win.

Edwards put the finishing touches on his late-game heroics with a deep corner 2 that proved the dagger in overtime in a 130-126 victory over the Sacramento Kings Friday night in Sacramento, California, in group play action in the NBA Cup.

Edwards, who scored a team-high 36 points, was the main reason the Wolves (7-6) reached overtime. Trailing 113-109 late in the fourth quarter, he got to the rim for a layup, drew a foul and hit the free throw to cut the deficit to one. Edwards did the same routine again on their next possession to give the Wolves a two-point lead with 50 seconds left.

De’Aaron Fox, who torched the Wolves for a game- and career-high 60 points, hit a floater with 38 seconds left to tie the game and ultimately send it to overtime. Fox was a problem for the Wolves all night. He scored 14 points as the Kings (7-6) opened the fourth quarter on a 19-2 run, getting them back into the game when the Wolves were in control.

The Timberwolves opened the third quarter on a 12-0 run to take a 20-point lead, their largest lead of the night. Edwards scored 10 points in the frame and Minnesota led 98-82 entering the final quarter of play.

In encouraging signs for the Wolves, Mike Conley looked like himself on Friday night. He knocked down a pair of early 3-pointers and finished with 14 points, seven assists, five steals and four rebounds.
