Anthony Edwards on the job Karl-Anthony Towns did guarding Nikola Jokic:
“I think the main thing today was his ass stayed out of foul trouble, like I told him in Phoenix. That was all that was. Yeah, I mean I cussed him out. I cuss him out every chance I get. Bro, stop fucking – 12:17 AM

Anthony Edwards said there was finger-pointing going around the last three games. He credited the coaches with making a video edit of all the good things from Games 1 and 2 for shifting the energy.
“That was big time. I told them that was big time putting the edit together.” – 12:15 AM

Just so everyone knows and so hopefully Wolves players/coaches stop being asked about “switching the matchup up so KAT is on Jokic,” KAT has been Jokic’s primary every game.
Anthony Edwards when asked this again after tonight’s game:
“He’s been guarding him the whole series. – 12:14 AM

How difficult did Anthony Edwards make it for you while he was checking you?
Nuggets’ Jamal Murray: “Who? For me? For me? It was more about my elbow at that point. … It was more offensively for him. It wasn’t him guarding me. He was scoring on the other end.” pic.twitter.com/sc1zrUsyI2 – 12:08 AM

Anthony Edwards slowly gets back to the bench but that one shook him up a bit.
I do think that he is okay but clearly felt that one. – 10:08 PM

Anthony Edwards is slow to get up after a collision near the hoop. He’s walking it off on his own two feet and the MIN crowd lets him hear it with a “MVP!” chant – 10:08 PM

Anthony Edwards just got fouled and was holding his tailbone.
He is on the ground and not doing much moving well after the timeout.
Taking him a while to get back up. – 10:08 PM

Anthony Edwards still face down in the hardwood after that drive and foul by Porter. Minnesota calls timeout. Hush coming over the crowd that was going crazy 60 seconds ago. He’s still not really moving. – 10:07 PM

Anthony Edwards gets the headline with 14 points in the first quarter but Jaden McDaniel’s defense was terrifying. Two blocks and a steal already. Totally set the tone for the Wolves. – 9:09 PM

The Wolves’ activity has been incredible on the perimeter and on the boards. And Anthony Edwards is filling it up. But a big part of this hot start, IMO, has been KAT’s aggression and decisiveness on the offensive end. – 9:07 PM
