Minnesota Timberwolves rookie forward Anthony Edwards threw down a ferocious poster dunk over Toronto Raptors forward Yuta Watanabe during his team’s home game on Friday: 

The Timberwolves provided a look at the dunk from another angle:

The NBA did as well:

Coincidentally, the Fox Sports North broadcast accidentally gave Edwards four points for the dunk on the televised scoreboard instead of two, although the rookie probably should get some extra credit for a phenomenal slam.

Edwards’ effort helped Minnesota finish the third quarter on a 23-1 run to turn a 57-41 deficit into a 64-58 lead heading into the fourth.

The Timberwolves selected Edwards, a former University of Georgia star, with the first overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft.
