INDIANAPOLIS — Anthony Edwards celebrated a milestone moment by scoring 37 points and leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 129-120 victory at Indiana.
Edwards became the fourth-youngest player in NBA history to reach the 2,500-point mark on his first hoop of the game. The second-year forward is 20 years, 192 days old. LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are the only younger players to achieve the feat.
Oshae Brissett had a season-high 22 points and matched his career high with 13 rebounds for Indiana. The Pacers have now lost six straight.
Minnesota never trailed after using a 13-0 second-quarter run to take a 56-44 lead.
The Timberwolves snapped a two-game losing streak overall and a three-game losing streak at Indiana as they continue to work toward a finish in the top six in the Western Conference, and by doing so avoid the play-in round.
