  "account": "Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards scored a game-high 47 points in the Timberwolves' 127-125 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night. NBA analyst Keith Smith praised Edwards for his late game shooting, calling his performance \"clutch\" and noting his \"ice in his veins.\" Edwards had previously scored 26 points against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. Minnesota entered the game on a three-game winning streak but was playing a back-to-back. The Timberwolves took a 60-50 halftime lead against the Cavaliers, who trailed by as many as 15 points. James Harden helped the Cavaliers mount their comeback after the first half, scoring 20 points after halftime. Edwards continued to score throughout the game, finishing with 27 points after the break. The Cavaliers struggled to keep up with Edwards late in the game, as he made several clutch shots despite being double-teamed. Minnesota lost Jaden McDaniels to fouls during overtime, and Cleveland outscored Minnesota 14-12 to win the game. Donovan Mitchell delivered late for Cleveland, scoring 12 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and overtime.",
