No 50-point outburst this time for Anthony Edwards, but he stepped up when needed the most for the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

Edwards came alive to score 28 of his 37 points in the second half, spearheading a gutsy Timberwolves comeback from 19 points down to beat the Los Angeles Clippers, 108-106, and end a three-game skid. 

Minnesota overturned a five-point deficit with four minutes left behind the heroics of their superstar guard, who scored 13 markers alone in the final frame. 

Reigning Sixth Man of the Year Naz Reid put up a solid 17-point outing while Donte DiVincenzo chipped 15 more as Minnesota won for the 18th time this season. 

On the other hand, Norman Powell paced the Clippers with 25 points, James Harden contributed 22 more and Kawhi Leonard finishing with eight points in his second game back for LA as they dropped to 20-16.
