The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a comfortable 106-92 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, with Anthony Edwards leading the charge. Edwards delivered a stellar performance, finishing the game with 26 points, five rebounds, two assists, and three three-pointers.
However, it wasn’t just Edwards’ performance that made headlines. A reaction from the star player during the game drew significant attention. While resting on the bench, Edwards expressed visible frustration after teammate Rudy Gobert missed a seemingly easy layup. Holding a towel in his hand, Edwards’ reaction quickly became a talking point.
