Anthony Edwards, player for the Minnesota Timberwolves, spoke at a press conference after the 108:109 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
A major setback for the Minnesota Timberwolves after an excellent series against the Denver Nuggets. It seems that even Anthony Edwards, above all, is not performing at his usual level. The brilliant playmaker made a crucial mistake in the game, losing the ball with 13 seconds left.
This gave Luka Doncic the opportunity to hit a three-pointer and secure the Mavericks’ second break in the series. Nevertheless, Edwards emphasizes that they were already in a tough situation and there is no reason for anyone to panic.
“They’re just showing me crowds man, sitting in the gaps. But I’m turning down a lot of shots, like my midranges and stuff, I’m turning a lot of those down. But we getting open looks, so I ain’t tripping… They’re open, so I’m making the right play. But sometimes the right play may be to just shoot it…
I mean. We were down 3-2. We were up 2-0, and they came and won two at the crib, and then won one at their crib. We’ve been here before. I don’t think anyone in the locker room is panicking. I hope not. Just come out and play our brand of basketball. We let them make a run, we’re supposed to go up big but, they made a run and cut it right before the half. We made some mistakes but we’ll be alright.”
The next game is scheduled for May 27 at 2:00 AM, with the Dallas Mavericks hosting.
