Minnesota still has the worst record in the NBA, but has won 3 of 5 since the All-Star break.

PHOENIX — Rookie Anthony Edwards scored a career-high 42 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 41 and the Minnesota Timberwolves rallied to stun the Phoenix Suns 123-119.

Edwards and Towns carried Minnesota in this one, pouring in points from all over the floor. Edwards, the No. 1 overall pick from the NBA draft last summer, made 15 of 31 shots. Towns was even more efficient, hitting 15 of 24 shots, including 5 of 7 3-pointers. 

Juancho Hernangomez dunked with 2.5 seconds left to seal it.

Jevon Carter hit a 3-pointer just before the third quarter buzzer to give the Suns a 91-83 lead. But the T’wolves kept the game tight, and Towns tied it at 107 after a 3-pointer with less than five minutes remaining. 

Towns also added 10 rebounds and eight assists.

Devin Booker led the Suns with 35 points on 13-of-22 shooting. Phoenix lost for just the fifth time in its last 23 games.
