Anthony Edwards’ 35 points send Mavericks to 10th straight loss

Dallas Mavericks forward Marvin Bagley had 15 points and 13 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to stop the team’s season-long 10-game losing streak.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards scored 40 points with six rebounds to lead Minnesota past Dallas 122-111 on Friday night.

With the loss, Dallas fell to 19-36 and dropped its third game to Minnesota this season. The teams will meet for the final time at the end of March.

The Mavericks used a 21-6 run in the third quarter to pull within two but never took the lead in the period. With less than seven minutes remaining in the fourth, Dallas guard Tyus Jones tied the game at 103 on a finger roll.

But Edwards sparked a late surge as Minnesota pulled away in the closing minutes. Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert finished with 22 points and 17 rebounds, and forward Naz Reid added 21 points and seven rebounds.

For Dallas, Khris Middleton had 18 points and seven rebounds, while Naji Marshall scored 15.
