SportyTV | NBA: Timberwolves rally to stun Spurs

Anthony Edwards’ driving bank shot with 16.8 seconds remaining Sunday capped the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 104-103 comeback win over the Southwest Division-leading San Antonio Spurs.

Minnesota (26-14) fell behind 16-0 to start the game and trailed by 14 points after the third quarter before rallying.

The Timberwolves chipped away in the fourth and Edwards gave them their first lead of the game with 2:19 to go.

De’Aaron Fox’s jumper with 34 seconds left regained the lead for San Antonio (27-12) before Edwards’ go-ahead basket, and Fox missed a three-point attempt with two seconds remaining to seal Minnesota’s win.

Edwards had 23 points and Donte DiVincenzo scored 19 along with seven assists for the Timberwolves, who have won 16 of their last 22 games.

Victor Wembanyama led San Antonio with 29 points and matched a season high with three steals.

The Spurs have gone 4-5 since putting together an eight-game winning streak.

Knicks end Trail Blazers’ five-game run

The New York Knicks’ starting lineup led the way in a 123-114 victory that snapped the Portland Trail Blazers’ season-high five-game winning streak.
