A “barbaric” gesture, the one that launched the Timberwolves towards victory over the Jazz in the third quarter, driven by a performance of 32 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks from Edwards. Who places the highlight of the match with a super dunk on the head of John Collins, forcing the big man to leave the field due to the blow he received to the head
An MVP-caliber second half (in which he scored 25 of his 32 points in the evening) Anthony Edwards embellished it with one of the best dunks of the season – and, perhaps, of his career: “I thought I couldn’t do it, because I was so far from the basket But somehow God gave me the strength to get there.” The Almighty certainly gave Minnesota’s talent two real springs under his legs, and poor John Collins knows it well, who in an attempt to contest the T’Wolves player’s dunk got the worst of it, receiving a blow to the head which forced him to leave the pitch (although a concussion was ruled out). But after the game – with Edwards’ dunk already viral on social media – all the attention was focused on the gesture of Minnesota’s No. 5: “I’ve always dreamed of dunking like this: doing it gave me shivers,” he said , declaring his admiration – as a boy – for Vince Carter’s leaps above the rim.
“A dunk like that energizes the team, gives everyone more desire to defend, and makes a game much more fun.” Although Edwards himself came out batteredwith a problem with the ring finger of his left hand, injured in contact with Collins during the dunk. Luckily for him though nothing seriousand after a quick stop in the locker room, he returned to the pitch to put the final touches to a performance 32 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks. And a dunk to remember.
