This highlight will only add to the struggles for Doncic, who is playing below his best level after dealing with an illness leading up to Game 3.

This Timberwolves-Lakers series features some of the biggest stars in the NBA with Doncic, Edwards and LeBron James and already looks like it is going to be a classic long series. With plays like this Edwards dunk, it will only add to the lore.

Edwards had an excellent Game 1 as a playmaker, finishing with nine assists in a blowout win for Minnesota. In Game 2, the Lakers made some adjustments on defense and held him to zero assists after going boxes and elbows almost every time he touched the ball. Edwards said after the game that he was “confused” by the look, but he seems to have figured some things out in Game 3.

The former Georgia superstar is up to 22 points with six rebounds and six assists as his Timberwolves try to hold onto home-court and get a 2-1 lead in the series through three games. However, they are trying to hold off an epic game from James, who looks like his prime self with 38 points.
