Anthony Edwards knew the Minnesota Timberwolves would be going to Game 7 against the Denver Nuggets. He was so confident about that feeling that he even told a Denver locker room staffer days ago that he would be back when the series reached that point.
The Nuggets-Timberwolves series has been a wild ride. During the first two games, Anthony Edwards and co. had Nikola Jokic and the defending champs completely out of sorts. Then, the Nuggets stormed back with three impressive wins in a row. However, the Timberwolves were not going to go quietly.
On Thursday, they defeated the Nuggets 115-70, holding Denver to just nine points in the fourth quarter. WHEW. But Anthony Edwards says this was the plan. He previously told a Denver locker room staff member that he would see them again for Game 7. Here’s what he told a reporter when asked about his prediction (Warning: NSFW language.):
“[Expletive] yeah! They know. Y’all was in there. I told them. I said, ‘I’ll see y’all [expletive] for Game 7’.”
