  1. Edwards is being a very important player for the Timberwolves with the incredible average of points he's getting in playoffs. His contribution with team stuff through this series is simply outstanding.
    But it's a big pity for him Denver looking clearly like the favourite to keep on the way after this meeting.

  4. Too bad Karl stat stuffed and nobody else was really bringing any energy, aside from Ant, Anderson and frankly Conley played terribly poor…

  6. I’m a huge Ant fan, but I don’t think he played a great game. Luckily, I think this was a career high for free throw attempts for him

    Just goes to show, even an average game can look great if given enough free throws. Hopefully the favorable calls will carry over into next season

  25. Definitely for sure Anthony Edwards will be a young MVP contender for years to come , but damn he’s been averaging 32 points a game in the playoffs before turning the age of 22
