Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was still six three-pointers behind Detroit Pistons' Malik Beasley before the last game of the regular season. As a former teammate who once fought side by side with Beasley, Edwards is very clear about his ranking and is determined to "grab" this honor.

In the final game against the Utah Jazz, Edwards scored a game-high 43 points and made seven three-pointers, helping the Timberwolves win 116-105 and ensuring the team's top six in the Western Conference and avoiding the play-in round. Edwards' 320th three-pointer of the season came with 2 minutes and 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter, officially surpassing Beasley's 319 and becoming the NBA's three-point king this season.

Edwards said with a smile: "I wanted to make that shot a long time ago, but it never went in. But I still have to thank our little brother, Jaylen Clark, who has been reminding me of this data."

It is worth mentioning that Edwards is the first player in Timberwolves history to lead the league in three-pointers made in a single season. His leap in three-pointers this season is amazing: his average three-point attempts per game exceeded double digits for the first time, and his hit rate reached a career-high 40%. Behind this progress is the long-term encouragement and trust of head coach Chris Finch.

Finch said: "At the beginning of the season, I was not sure that he could improve his three-point shooting to this level. After all, he has an extremely comprehensive offensive arsenal. Generally speaking, players who shoot a lot of three-pointers will become relatively single-minded. But he not only made breakthroughs in three-pointers, but also maintained his comprehensiveness, which fully demonstrated his talent and also showed that once he made up his mind to focus on a certain skill, he could often do it to the extreme."

At only 22 years old, he is still evolving, and his quality of "being able to do whatever he wants" makes Timberwolves fans look forward to the upcoming playoff journey.
