The Celtics led almost the entire match, started by Brown’s 5/5 three-pointer from the start. They won their 5th victory in a row and confirmed their second place in the east.
The talents of Edwards (28 points) and Gobert (20 rebounds) and the combativeness of the Timberwolves provided breathtaking money time.
But with seven seconds left and two points behind, the Minnesota players were unable to find a shooting solution.
Chris Finch’s team falls to 11th place in the Western Conference.
