On Saturday, the NBA rescinded the technical foul that was issued to Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards after he spiked the basketball high in the air at the end of the first half of Friday night's game against the New York Knicks.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has earned his fifth fine of the season, this time for "making obscene gestures toward a game official," the NBA said.

Anthony Edwards dominated the struggling Knicks, who were again outplayed in the fourth quarter, again barraged by 3-pointers and again lost handily, 116-99, Friday night to the Timberwolves.

"I would say the starting group gotta come out with more energy like we want to play the game of basketball, like we love the game."

The Wolves had the defenders in Edwards, Alexander-Walker and Jaden McDaniels to seemingly wear down New York’s star point guard Jalen Brunson. Outside of an unexpected 18-point, first-half explosion from Cam Payne, the Knicks found no real consistent offense throughout the evening.

Friday’s game was a far cry from Dec. 19, when the Knicks dominated the Timberwolves in Minnesota, 133-107. That night, Edwards scored just 17 points on 16 shots, deferring to Randle, who was still acclimating to his new team after the trade.
