MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Malik Beasley scored 23 points and rookie Anthony Edwards finished with 23 in his second straight start as the Minnesota Timberwolves held on to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 109-104 on Sunday night.

D’Angelo Russell added 19 points for Minnesota, which snapped a three-game losing streak and won for just the third time in 17 games.

The Timberwolves used their 3-point shooting to overcome a dominant game inside by Andre Drummond and Cleveland. The Wolves connected on a season-high 16 3s, converting 40% from beyond the arc.
