The game moved on to the next possession.
It was the Knicks' turn on offense again.
Rose brought the ball across half court and once again found Chen Xi with the pass.
Chen Xi then tried to use a pick-and-roll to target Towns, but the Timberwolves again contained him with an on-ball double-team.
He decisively passed out of it, finding George.
George caught the ball and drove into the paint, jump-stopped beneath the basket, then threw in a pump fake before rising for a layup through Reid's contest.
Unfortunately, Reid defended this one brilliantly. He never bit on the fake and got his hand up in time.
PG's attack on the rim ultimately ended in failure.
Edwards leaped up on the other side and snatched the rebound.
The Timberwolves immediately launched another fast break.
Edwards turned and pushed the ball upcourt at speed.
He charged straight ahead until he reached the frontcourt three-point line, then planted and pulled the ball back in a move that had more than a little of Chen's flair, steadying his feet.
With Chen Xi retreating in time to defend him, Edwards remained calm and chose to look for a teammate first.
He turned his head, spotted Odie trailing the play, and immediately passed.
Oladipo caught the ball on the move and surged into the paint, then launched into a Euro step against Toppin, who had also hurried back on defense.
After two strides, he sprang into the air and forced up a shot through Toppin's twisting body and long arms.
Remarkably, even though Toppin's contest was right on the money...
Odie still managed to make the shot.
The ball left his fingertips, struck the backboard, then bounced onto the front rim and popped up again.
It bounced twice more on the rim, drawing several players
