That said, it was Edwards who sealed the win as he protected Minnesota's one-point lead in the waning seconds of overtime by blocking Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's potential game-winning shot at the rim.

While Edwards struggled in the contest and shot 5-of-15 from the field for 17 points along with 13 rebounds and eight assists, he definitely stepped up when it mattered most. The NBA, for its part, shared a slow-motion video of Ant-Man's clutch defensive stop, which drew plenty of reactions from fans.
