Anthony Edwards goes off the backboard for wild dunk in second-half takeover vs. Grizzlies

Anthony Edwards has looked closer and closer to a superstar every year of his NBA career. On some nights, such as Thursday, he has made an argument he's already there.

The Minnesota Timberwolves guard saved his team from an embarrassing upset from the recently Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies, posting 26 second-half points in a 118-103 win. The win moves Minnesota's conference-best record to 29-11.

Edwards had only two points at halftime, but told the TNT broadcast after the game he realized "nobody could guard me" and decided to start "BSing."

In this case, "BSing" meant driving into the paint, stopping, throwing the ball off the backboard then jumping from the elbow to throw down one of the wildest dunks of his young career.
