Anthony Edwards made sure the Timberwolves left the Golden 1 Center with a win.

Edwards capped off his late-game heroics with a deep corner 2 that proved the dagger in overtime in a 130-126 win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night in Sacramento, Calif., in the NBA Cup group stage.

Edwards, who scored a team-high 36 points, was the main reason the Wolves (7-6) went into overtime. Trailing 113-109 late in the fourth quarter, he got to the rim for a layup, drew a foul and hit the free throw to cut the deficit to one. Edwards did the same routine again on their next possession to give the Wolves a two-point lead with 50 seconds left.

De’Aaron Fox, who torched the Wolves for a game-high and career-high 60 points, hit a floater with 38 seconds left to tie the game and eventually send it to overtime. Fox was a problem for the Wolves all night long. He scored 14 points as the Kings (7-6) opened the fourth quarter on a 19-2 run that got them back in the game when the Wolves were in control.

The Timberwolves opened the third quarter on a 12-0 run to take a 20-point lead, their largest of the night. Edwards scored 10 points in the frame, and Minnesota led 98-82 entering the final quarter of the game.

In an encouraging sign for the Wolves, Mike Conley looked like himself Friday night. He knocked down a pair of early 3-pointers and finished with 14 points, seven assists, five steals and four rebounds. Julius Randle finished with 26 points, five assists and four rebounds, Naz Reid scored 16 points off the bench and Jaden McDaniels had 14 that spilled into OT.

Rudy Gobert had 11 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, including a key block in the overtime session.

With the win, the Timberwolves snapped a three-game skid, got back on track in the NBA Cup and built some momentum heading into Sunday’s matchup with the 9-4 Phoenix Suns, whom Minnesota swept in the first round of the Western Conference postseason last season. Tip off at Target Center is set for 2:30 p.m
