The dunk didn't count. The victory did, which was more than a consolation prize.
One of the most talked-about moments in Wednesday night's game between the Timberwolves and Heat at Target Center came on Anthony Edwards' spectacular fourth-quarter dunk over Gabe Vincent, a dunk that was promptly waved off by officials, who called the young Wolves star for a charge.
No matter. The Wolves still earned one of their most satisfying victories in recent memory, prevailing 113-101 over Jimmy Butler and Miami to extend their winning streak to five games and even their record at 9-9.
