Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards had quite the first quarter Sunday night against the Utah Jazz at Target Center in Minneapolis, and he delivered a highlight-reel slam during the run, rising up over Walker Kessler for the flush.

Those were his 18th and 19th points of the quarter, and when he made a pair of free throws to make it a 21-point opening frame, Edwards passed Andrew Wiggins (8,710) for third all-time in points in Timberwolves history, rising to 8,711 for his career. It was Edwards' fourth 20-point quarter of the season, and Minnesota led Utah 34-20 after the first quarter of play.

The game was still in progress at the time of publication.
