Anthony Edwards could have given Luka Doncic all the additional motivation he needed for the rest of the series.
Or, perhaps, the Timberwolves star has just produced the lasting image of her confrontation of the opening round with the Lakers, ensuring that her name remains in conversations about the best players in the league and is not eclipsed by everything with everything with maid-whappen maid all she could to take to the Lakers, this season.
In the Early Minute of the Fourth Quarter, Edwards Connected On A 3-Pointer About Donc to Give The Timberwolves A 16-Point Lead, and After Pausing Letterly, He Stretched HIS ARM IN CELEBRATION, STARED AT DONCIC AND TAUNTED HIS WHILE HILE HILE HILE HILE HILE HILE HILE HILE HILE Hile Hile Hile Hile Hile Hile Hile Hile Hile.
Edwards, who collected 22 points during the 117-95 victory of Minnesota in game 1, helped the Timberwolves build an advantage that ended up being as large as 27 points, and despite the fact that Doncic invested 16 points.
“I have a large group of boys,” Edwards told journalists after the game. “But it wasn’t tonight. I learned that in the training camp. He only takes us a minute gelifying as a new team. Just a minute for us to solve, and I feel that now we are going.”
Minnesota managed to reach the final conference last season before the star Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks, so he entered his series with the Lakers, much of the attention center concentrated on Los Angeles-Whwoo Doncic was added in an impressive treatment of great success with the Mavericks in February.
That allowed the 26 -year -old to match LeBron James and turn the Lakers into a serious contender under the first year chief coach JJ Redick, with Los Angeles finishing the regular games of season 18 around .500 and snatching the sown No. 3 at the West Conference.
Even so, he thought, the Timberwolves presented a challenge with Edwards, a former general selection No. 1 that averaged 27.6 points per game in the regular season.
He connected to four of the 21 tracks of 3 that Minnesota arrived on Saturday, distributed nine assists and assured that his dominant advantage would not fade in the last quarter of the game.
And the duration that extends, after its 3 in front of Doncic after it starts to spend, Edwards could have produced the mockery that could shape the rest of the series.
