Anthony Edwards saved his fireworks for the second half, erupting for 26 points to propel the Minnesota Timberwolves to a dominant 118-103 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night. This win marks the Timberwolves' fourth in a row and strengthens their formidable home record to 17-2.

Edwards, who had a mere two points at halftime, came alive in the final two quarters, showcasing his offensive prowess and leading the charge. Naz Reid provided valuable support from the bench, contributing 20 points to the Timberwolves' winning effort.

Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley rounded out the double-double scorers for Minnesota, posting 17 points and 10 rebounds, and 17 points and 10 assists, respectively. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the Grizzlies with a game-high 36 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Timberwolves' offensive surge in the final period.

The turning point came in the fourth quarter, where Minnesota outscored Memphis 37-17, effectively sealing the win. An 11-0 run sparked by Conley's eight consecutive points and capped by Nickeil Alexander-Walker's three-pointer proved decisive, putting the Grizzlies out of reach.

Memphis kept things close throughout the first three quarters, with Kennard's four three-pointers in the third quarter providing a spark. Edwards, however, countered with a highlight-reel dunk, lobbing a pass to himself off the backboard and finishing with a powerful slam.

Despite leading at halftime, the Grizzlies were unable to sustain their momentum in the face of the Timberwolves' resurgent offense. The victory extends Minnesota's winning streak to four games and solidifies their position as a force to be reckoned with in the Western Conference.
