Anthony Edwards led the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 104-97 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, scoring 32 points and hitting seven 3-pointers in a dominating performance. The game marked the return of Zion Williamson, who had been out for 27 games due to a left hamstring injury. Although Williamson contributed 22 points, his efforts were not enough to secure a win for the Pelicans, who have struggled lately.

Edwards began the game explosively, scoring 14 points in the first seven minutes, demonstrating his scoring prowess as he surpassed 30 points for the ninth time this season. The Timberwolves maintained control for most of the game, leading by as many as 13 points.
