Irving outplays Edwards as Mavs tame Wolves

Kyrie Irving scored 35 points as the Dallas Mavericks recovered from an early Anthony Edwards onslaught to clinch a 120-114 road win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Edwards had looked poised to help Minnesota avenge last season's Western Conference finals defeat to Dallas after erupting for 24 points in a devastating first-quarter performance.

He rained in six three-pointers and shot six-of-10 from the field to help Minnesota take a 34-26 lead into the second quarter.
