Anthony Edwards postgame: “They still gotta win one more game to go home and we got another chance to win another game and come back to Minnesota. I take pride, I don’t ever wanna say I got swept in my career. I definitely took it personally tonight.” – 2:16 AM

Minnesota won’t be around for much longer this postseason, but everyone should get comfy because there will be a lot more of Anthony Edwards doing amazing things in our future. – 12:30 AM

“We saw a lot of charges being taken tonight… was that part of you all’s game plan?”
Anthony Edwards: “Yeah, for sure”
Ant is a rising star, so fun. But charges being part of the game plan is what I don’t like about charges. … as it leads to deliberate flopping. – 12:29 AM

Gotta give a lotta respect to the Timberwolves. Down 0-3, most would’ve laid down instead of having the pride to fight and get back on another plane. Oh and by the way, this organization belongs to Anthony Edwards! Carry the hell on… – 12:25 AM

Anthony Edwards has been such a great playoff performer to start his career. It’s a shame it looks like two straight exits in the first round for him. Hope we get to see him around the right group for a real run sooner rather than later. – 11:26 PM
