Edwards Accuses Brooks of Playing Dirty After Timberwolves Win Over Rockets

In a heated NBA matchup, Minnesota Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards and Houston Rockets' Dillon Brooks clashed during their game, with Edwards labeling Brooks as a 'dirty player'. The altercation, which occurred in the second quarter, was sparked when Brooks hit Edwards in the face, prompting a verbal exchange that had to be broken up by officials. Edwards expressed his disdain for Brooks' style, stating that while he appreciates competitiveness, Brooks' actions went beyond basketball. Despite the tension, Edwards led his team to a 127-114 victory, scoring a game-high 41 points and setting a milestone as the youngest player to reach 1,000 career three-pointers. This incident is not the first between the two players, as their rivalry traces back to previous encounters. Edwards' performance was crucial in the Timberwolves' comeback, aiding their position in the Western Conference standings.
