Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards told Cowboys’ Micah Parsons he’d see him back in Dallas for Game 6: “He was rocking the AE1s. Size 14. I told him I’d bring him back some nice shoes for Game 6.” pic.twitter.com/J6HjFPsHnS – 11:54 PM

Anthony Edwards said @TomCrean, who coached Edwards at Georgia, texted him before the game and at halftime. The message: Play with joy. – 11:49 PM

Shoutout to the Timberwolves. Nobody was trying to wait until June 6th for the next basketball game. Great efforts by Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns. – 11:15 PM

Final: Wolves 105, Mavs 100.
Despite a triple-double by Luka Doncic (28-15-10), Dallas misses an opportunity to sweep. Minnesota forces a Game 5, which will be in Minneapolis on Thursday.
Anthony Edwards: 29 pts, 10 rebs, 9 asts – 11:11 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Over the first three games, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving outscored Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns by 70 points.
Tonight? It was Edwards and Towns by 10.
See you Thursday for Game 5. – 11:09 PM
Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
If i’m the Mavericks I make sure every security guard in that Timberwolves locker room knows not to make eye contact with Anthony Edwards. – 11:09 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Mavs can’t pull off a fourth straight comeback. Anthony Edwards (29-10-9) and the Wolves avoid the sweep and extend their season at least one more game. – 11:09 PM
Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
BEAUTIFUL bucket by Anthony Edwards pic.twitter.com/vEk9Tf6k8M – 10:59 PM

Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
You get why Anthony Edwards is attempting to force the issue on offense, but two straight empty possessions leads to two easy Dallas buckets before this timeout. – 10:37 PM

Dave McMenamin @mcten
With 17 points in the first half, Anthony Edwards upped his points total this postseason to 401. He’s the 2nd Wolves player in team history to top 400 points in a single playoff run, joining Kevin Garnett in 2004 (438 points) – 9:48 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Halftime: #Mavs 49, #Wolves 49.
Doncic: 17 pts, 8 rebs, 3 asts
Jones: 7 pts, 3 rebs, 2 asts (2-2 3PT)
Irving: 6 pts, 3 asts
Anthony Edwards: 17 pts, 4 rebs – 9:40 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Anthony Edwards lofted a great 8-foot floater, but was 10 feet from the rim. Frustrated he didn’t get a call, he grabbed Luka on the ensuing possession and picked up foul #3 with 3:35 left in the half. Mavs now have tied it at 45. Good chance for more with Ant off the court. – 9:32 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Anthony Edwards with a regrettable foul on Doncic and he picks up his third. Two of Ant’s fouls have come guarding Doncic, and that’s a big downside to having Ant guard him. – 9:27 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
End of the 1st quarter: #Wolves 27, #Mavs 20.
Doncic: 10 pts, 4 rebs
Hardy: 5 pts
Green: 3 pts
Anthony Edwards: 14 pts, 4 rebs (4-7 FG; 1-2 3PT; 5-8 FT) – 9:04 PM

Anthony Edwards is alive. And the Mavs are sluggish, a little flat. Another big lead for Minny, 24-12 – 8:59 PM

Anthony Edwards started the series guarding Kyrie Irving in Games 1 and 2, so I asked Chris Finch why they moved Conley onto Kyrie for Game 3.
“We moved Ant off because we were going to start off with two on the ball off the pick and roll, so we wanted as much size as the low pic.twitter.com/D42FC4eN4K – 12:54 PM

The Ringer @ringernba
The space that Anthony Edwards is used to has turned into a traffic jam. All of Dallas’s focus is geared toward slowing him down.

Michael Pina @MichaelVPina
New @ringer: I took a look at why Anthony Edwards is struggling in the conference finals and how he can bounce back in Game 4.
So much credit belongs to a connected, physical Mavs defense that has been, in so many ways, the story of this postseason: theringer.com/nba/2024/5/28/… – 11:34 AM
