Timberwolves rookie swingman Anthony Edwards, hero of the Timberwolves\u2019 102-101 comeback victory over the Knicks Wednesday, gloated afterward they were thrilled RJ Barrett was the one taking the final shot.<\/p>\n

Off the inbounds, Barrett missed short on a stepback 19-footer over a contesting Karl Anthony Towns with two seconds left to preserve the win.<\/p>\n

And Edwards, No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft out of Georgia, said Barrett, the third pick in the 2019 draft, was the guy the Timberwolves wanted to decide the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe told Jaden [McDaniels] try not let Randle catch the ball, we\u2019re going to make someone else beat us,\u201d Edwards said on the Wolves television broadcast after the game. \u201cGladly RJ caught it and if he made the shot, we would\u2019ve lived with it. Because that\u2019s who we wanted taking the shot. We didn\u2019t want anyone else taking it.\u201d<\/p>\n
