SAN ANTONIO — There are few times when a coach takes time to admire the work of an opposing superstar. Game 4 at Target Center made an exception of Mitch Johnson. With 5:12 to play in the fourth quarter, Anthony Edwards rose up on the right wing. His shot, undeterred by De'Aaron Fox's contest tore through nylon to give the Minnesota Timberwolves a one-point lead. After it fell, Edwards turned and patted Johnson on the arm. He finished the evening with 36 points. Sixteen of them came in the fourth. "The guy's ridiculous," Johnson said, asked about facing off against the league's third-leading scorer. "It's fun to compete ... if that's what it's called when you coach against him."
