Rudy Gobert had 18 points and 14 rebounds for his 15th double-double of the season for Minnesota, which outscored Washington 76-48 in the paint. The Timberwolves went 3-1 on their road trip and won on consecutive days for the third time this season.
CJ McCollum had 20 points to lead Washington, which at 9-25 has the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference. The Wizards had won four of five.
Minnesota had its third 140-plus-point game of the season, while the Wizards allowed 140-plus for the fourth time.
The Timberwolves did not trail after the first five minutes behind Edwards’ strong start. The guard had 16 points in the first quarter — his most in the opening period this season — as Minnesota built a 38-28 lead.
