THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES The Timberwolves are right back in the thick of things, and best of all, their injury scare to Anthony Edwards was just that -- only a scare. Minnesota knotted up its series with Golden State at one game apiece with a 117-93 win over the Stephen Curry-less Warriors.

Barkley accused Edwards of pulling off a Paul Pierce, which is a reference to the former Boston Celtics superstar's infamous wheelchair incident during the 2008 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Edwards, the Timberwolves’ 23-year-old leader and already one of the league’s top players, had to be helped off the floor midway through the second quarter after Trayce Jackson-Davis landed on his left ankle defending an attempt at the rim.
