Anthony Edwards on Tuesday added Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes to his growing list of victims at the rim.
Edwards electrified the Crypto.com Arena crowd with a vicious dunk to open the second half in Game 2 of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ first-round series against the Lakers. T-Wolves star got the ball at the top of the key about a minute into the third quarter.
Despite the 7-foot Hayes standing in the shaded lane, Edwards drove hard into the paint with bad intentions. Edwards took off like a jolt of lightning and finished a two-handed flush over the outstretched arms of the Lakers center.

That one is going on Ant-Man’s highlight reels for years to come. It’s not the first time Edwards has thrown down a poster slam in the playoffs. Given his extensive body of work when it comes to dunking, it probably won’t be the last this postseason.
Edwards tallied 25 points on 10/22 shooting from the floor. But it wasn’t enough to upset the Lakers in Game 2 as the Timberwolves lost 94-85.
