MINNEAPOLIS -- — Anthony Edwards scored 41 points on Sunday as the Minnesota Timberwolves won their eighth straight, beating the Utah Jazz 128-102.

Key moment Edwards scored 19 points in the game’s first eight minutes, capping the run with a dunk in traffic over the 7-foot Kessler that put Minnesota on top 28-12.
