On Monday evening, Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves are playing the Denver Nuggets (in Colorado) for Game 2 of their second-round playoff series.

The Timberwolves got off to a great start to the night.

Edwards had 18 points, five assists and one steal while shooting 7/11 from the field in his first 24 minutes of playing time.

During the first half, the All-Star shooting guard also had a huge highlight that got a lot of views on social media (h/t Hoop Central).

Reggie Jackson reached for the ball, and Edwards used his excellent handle to create space, which sent Jackson to the ground.
