Kim/Chicago Tribune) Reid drove for a layup to make it a four-point game. But DeRozan made four free throws in the final 36 seconds to help the Bulls come away with a wild win. Edwards was hurt late in the first quarter when he landed awkwardly after jumping while throwing a pass. He stayed down clutching his ankle before being helped to the back. Losing Edwards would be a big blow for the Timberwolves, who came in tied for seventh in the Western Conference and are trying to avoid the play-in. He came into the game averaging 25 points and made his first All-Star team this year. Conley nailed a 3 to give the Timberwolves a 121-118 lead in the first overtime. DeRozan tied on a three-point play with just more than a minute left, with Gobert fouling out in the process. McDaniels then scored to put the Timberwolves back on top. LaVine drove for a tying layup with 11 seconds remaining after the Timberwolves’ Taurean Prince threw the ball away, and McDaniels missed a pull-up 3 for Minnesota.
