Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards exuded supreme confidence following his team’s dramatic Game 7 victory over the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, propelling the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in two decades.
Despite not delivering his best performance of the postseason, Edwards was in high spirits and engaged in some lively banter. After the game, while leaving the arena, he made a remark to a few Timberwolves fans that might ruffle some feathers, especially those of Nuggets guard Jamal Murray.
“I had Jamal [Murray] in handcuffs,” Edwards claimed.
While Murray did score a game-high 35 points, shooting 13/27 from the field, Edwards’s comment underscored his defensive efforts, despite scoring only 16 points himself on 6/24 shooting.
The Timberwolves clinched the game with a final score of 98-90, a testament to their collective effort and resilience in overcoming a 20-point deficit.
Edwards didn’t stop with just the fans and players; he also had a sharp retort for TNT analyst Charles Barkley, who had expressed reluctance about visiting Minneapolis.
Edwards’s remarks highlighted not only his confidence but also his readiness to take on critics and challenges alike.
