The Heat struggle on offense, ranking just 29th in scoring and 26th in offensive rating.

Edwards has been red-hot the last week as he’s scored at least 23 points in each of their last four games.

He also provided great defense and tallied 1 steal and 1 block.

They were without stars Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, who make up two-thirds of the Heat's scoring, but the Timberwolves were also without Karl-Anthony Towns.

-Even though the Heat won, they are still having trouble closing out games early when playing against non-playoff teams. Still, he secured the win for the Heat. Duncan Robinson had three 3-pointers but his first one gave him 800 on his career, making him the fastest player in NBA history to reach that number. He can be reached at [email protected] or follow him on Twitter @CKenzyNelson. He also hit five of his 10 3-pointers. It leaves doubt in people’s minds if they are willing to make it far in the playoffs.
