He was good in the clutch! Not arguing he had a bad night but 5 fouls is 5 fouls. Makes him staying in without fouling in that last few minutes all the more impressive.

One of those fouls was off a cheap Jokic flop though so eh

Edwards said in his walk off interview that this is only his 2nd game in 1.5 months. I think he also said that in the postgame after game 1.

For some reason he doesn’t count or remember the two regular season games he played in April lol

Gobert’s defense on Jokic in the clutch was DPOY worthy.

Seemed like the wolves realized no one can stop them from attacking the paint.

I think you mean despite the completely toasted knee. We all saw how he played the first 5 quarters of this series, the way he turned it up halfway through this game was crazy

JaderMcDanersStan | Timberwolves

Ant seemed to dig deep in the 2nd quarter and the whole team came with him. He has this visceral emotional aspect to his game and it brought out this nastiness and toughness from everyone. He has the power to shift momentum and the energy of his teammates, I’m so glad he persevered through the knee stuff and got aggressive

Randle, Donte, Jaden and Rudy were awesome especially in the clutch.

LeeShakerMoneyMaker | Timberwolves

This could’ve gone both ways but you gotta give it to the wolves for their performance. Despite the missed ft’s, wolves fought harder. You could see it late in the game though, Jokic wasn’t done. Tired as he was, he will be out for revenge next game and the wolves better be ready for a full head of steam going into game 3.

I do give credit to Ant for completely shifting the momentum in the 2nd and bringing out the energy and aggressiveness out of his teammates. Ant has this visceral emotional aspect to his game and he can bring his whole team with him. He just willed the knee stuff away in the 2nd and really dug deep. It bought out this nastiness and toughness in their defense and Donte, Jaden, Randle and Rudy sealed the win

Wolves should target pulling off the 2-1 lead in the first home game. I feel like if the Nuggets win Game 3 it’ll be like that game of Tic Tac Toe where you just play out the moves only to lose at the end because you were a move behind.

I knew I would get clowned on for saying this because people wouldn’t try to get the meaning behind it. Sometimes you really give EVERYTHING on a specific game, like go all in on minutes for star players or high intensity level and usually that’s only elimination games but particiularly Game 7’s because of course then it’s true for both sides.

What I am saying is more so just they should treat this as a near must win, because I think the series will be decided by who takes Game 3 in this one.

It’s just a feeling I get. Rather than some silly thought like “hey the Wolves should really try to win the next game” the point of my comment is “I think the winner of the next game will decide the winner of the series.”

Anthony Edwards steals home court advantage from the Nuggets despite the inefficiency: 30/10/2 | 1 steal | 2 blocks
