MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony Edwards returned from a three-game injury absence with 26 points and 12 rebounds, hitting the decisive 3-pointer with 38.5 seconds left to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves past the Oklahoma City Thunder 112-107 on Friday night. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 35 points and seven assists for the Thunder (25-3), who lost for the second time in three games after starting 24-1 after their NBA championship last season. Julius Randle scored 19 points on just 3-of-15 shooting, but his missed free throw after a make with 53 seconds left allowed the Wolves to keep the ball down two and set up Edwards for his decisive shot. Donte DiVincenzo and Naz Reid each scored 15 points and Rudy Gobert had 14 rebounds for the Wolves (18-10), who lost in five games against the Thunder in the Western Conference finals last spring. With the start of the holiday break, a national broadcast and the defending champion Thunder in town, the atmosphere at Target Center was especially lively, as was Timberwolves coach Chris Finch. ___Sports in Spanish AP: https://apnews.com/hub/deportes
