Anthony Edwards, the player from the Minnesota Timberwolves, spoke at a press conference after the victory over the Denver Nuggets.
We witnessed an outstanding game at the opening of this NBA playoff series. Two teams with the highest ambitions and great individual talents. However, the Timberwolves managed to get the break, and the main factor was the brilliant performance of Anthony Edwards, who scored 43 points. After the match, he highlighted that the Nuggets have great players and that it’s tough to play against them.
“I lost to these guys last year. They are the defending champs, they are a hard team to beat. Great team, they got great players. They have the best player in the league in Nikola Jokic. To me they got the best closer in Jamal Murray, the best 3-point shooter in Michael Porter Jr. So it’s tough to beat this team.”
The Timberwolves have won over fans with their fight and dedication, and it seems like that’s the mentality that Anthony Edwards himself has imposed.
“It’s not just my mentality, it’s team mentality. We come in and know it’s going to be a war. We just played within the game and stayed within the game. They make runs, we know we got to make our runs. Just fight. It’s going to be a fight.”
