At first, Edwards wasn\u2019t paying attention, but once he quickly realized what was going on, the Timberwolves\u2019 All-Star quickly got involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_h7at7wdl7\">via @TheHoopCentral: Anthony Edwards trying to help this fan struggling with his jumper.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Anthony Edwards trying to help this fan struggling with his jumper. \ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DJAceNBA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@DJAceNBA<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pLQoZWRheY\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/pLQoZWRheY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheHoopCentral\/status\/1976479578966327604?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 10, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_hb79po36d\">It\u2019s unclear what Edwards was saying in the moment, but he seemed to be encouraging the fan, who couldn\u2019t hit one of his shots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_n8l32om32\">Unfortunately, he wrapped up the competition with zero buckets. Edwards\u2019 advice from the side didn\u2019t mean much in the end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_dm5hf2atq\">For what it\u2019s worth, the fan got to see his team win at least. In a preseason battle between the Knicks and the Timberwolves, the two teams went into overtime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_plmvgycjt\">After the Knicks outscored the Timberwolves 27-19, they kept their foot on the gas in the fifth quarter. With a 10-5 free period, the Knicks came out on top to secure their third win in the preseason. It was their first win against an opponent that wasn\u2019t the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_hnd4nx7r1\">On New York\u2019s side, Mikal Bridges led the way with 15 points on 6-12 shooting from the field in 25 minutes. Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson combined 21 points from the starting lineup, as Deuce McBride and Jordan Clarkson each contributed 10 points off the bench.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_do8p21nmj\">On the other side, the former Knicks forward Julius Randle attempted 10 shots from the field, knocking down 40 percent of his field goals. By going 6-6 from the charity stripe, Randle managed to score 16 points in 23 minutes of action.

During that time, Edwards shot 6-17 from the field and knocked down just 2 of his 7 threes. After going 3-4 from the line, Edwards produced 17 points.
