The Wolves hold on against the Clippers in the NBA Cup, snapping four games

Anthony Edwards ensured that the Timberwolves put an end to their losing streak.

Edwards hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with about two minutes left and grabbed an offensive rebound on an offensive possession that ended fruitless, but was able to run out the clock in a 93-92 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers Friday night in an NBA Cup group game at the Target Center in Minneapolis. The Wolves snapped a four-game skid.

Up 93-90 after Edwards hit a 3-pointer and went 1 for 2 from the free throw line after being fouled on a drive the ensuing possession, the Wolves made a defensive stand and Nickeil Alexander-Walker forced a Kevin Porter Jr. turnover. The Wolves turned it over on the ensuing possession, however, and Ivica Zubac got a tip to cut it to one.

The Wolves came up with the ball late and Mike Conley missed a 3-pointer, but Edwards grabbed a rebound. While he missed a tip-in, the clock ran out for the Clippers, who never got another look at a game-winner.

Edwards finished with 21 points, four rebounds and three assists.

There were flashes of connectedness all night for the Wolves. During the third quarter, Edwards received a technical foul after arguing a no-call. James Harden missed the technical free throw, and Edwards immediately responded with a 3-pointer. A few possessions later, Donte DiVincenzo found a cutting Naz Reid for a layup and a 72-61 lead, Minnesota’s biggest of the night. The goal center crowd was electric as LA called a timeout.

Of course, there were still lowlights. The Wolves (9-10) turned it over three straight times to open the second half, and the Clippers (12-9) quickly closed their six-point deficit to two. DiVincenzo hit a 3-pointer between Reid blocking Terrence Mann on back-to-back possessions, bringing the Wolves up by six. But Kevin Porter Jr., who had the hot hand, hit a jumper to end the run. Porter put up 17 points off the bench for Los Angeles. Harden led the Clippers with 20 points and 11 assists.
