Anthony Edwards' electric dunk on LA Lakers center Jaxson Hayes had quite the effect on Minnesota Timberwolves' owner Alex Rodgriguez. The poster had Rodriguez jumping out of his seat. Minnesota looked to trim the deficit as they headed into halftime 68-43 in Game 2 of the 2025 NBA playoffs.
Edwards' strong move sets the tone for a scintillating third quarter. He looked to heat up in the stretch as he notched up 19 points to keep the T-Wolves in the hunt.

Julius Randle kept the offense churning, but the rest of the Minnesota unit were unable to make an impact as the Lakers bounced back with a 94-85 win. Edwards finished with 25 points and six rebounds. Randle led the T-Wolves with a team-high 27 points coupled with four rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block.
