guard ant you know they’ve been on fire there in the first round I’m interested to see how they they guard joic this ain’t going to be a four game sweep it ain’t going to be a five game series you got to wonder if Minnesota’s bench going to come in and play in games five and six and that’s going to be interesting last year it was hard to beat them guys yeah it was hard to beat them um they was on a roll um and we had two players go down like right towards the end of the season so I mean we had we we we fooled now we got all our guys all everybody healthy so it should be fun man it’s still going to be hard to beat them they to defend the Champs they the best team in the fourth quarter down the stretch in the clutch you got clutch players so it’s going to be hard to beat with an eming young captivating Superstar it’s Edwards and called well poke is out of a three got it and it and Y gets the hockey assist Edwards three wow he’s got the stroke to start things off and the Wolves control with connley the other way and finds Edwards who makes a move by Gordon right to the hole right there he calls for weing Edwards to the hole and he got it to go retrieved by Edwards Gordon is out shot

what are the ways that you don’t allow that to affect you um I mean it was it’s tough here man you know the the the altitude their team their crowd it’s tough here man I’m proud of my teammates man they came out and fought super hard tonight of course he’s a special player I have a huge respect for him you know you need to enjoy and respect uh um I think you need to enjoy in respect with your opponent just how how good and how talented he is what’s the the adjustment that you can make to them just rotating three fresh bigs on you you know for most of the game to have duplicate clone of myself I don’t know tonight in game two the Timberwolves will try to keep their streak alive five straight wins to start the postseason led by the NBA’s number two scorer in the postseason Anthony Edwards good analyst LeBron Durant Curry PG Harden Westbrook like you know guys from your generation that th those were your favorite players growing up right absolutely um do you guys talk about who the next face of the league could be do you guys talk about this concept of passing the torch absolutely you do absolutely we always talk about it and actually you know was crazy we sat in this seat about a year ago and we talked about and we really said like what is his ceiling and I said in my head top five player in the league and right now is looking like he’s one of those top five players in the league is because of what he’s doing defensively and also just overall just taking over the game this team as well as any Edwards will try even slash to the roack certainly there was contact right guys look at the weaving Edwards takes it and floats ref shot by Justin holiday who had a three Off the Bench in game one Anderson gives it off to Edward look at this here we go again with another turnover Edwards the other wayy get into his office about to go to work bumping shoving spinning firing double Anthony Edwards spinning gouging his way into the painton got it to go Timberwolves have gone up two nothing in in this series on the road against the defending Champion Denver Nuggets I don’t know that a lot of people had that on their cards coming into the series and has a different type of dog right like he’s he got a different type of mentality that cat still have to get or he’s getting or he’s on his way to trying to get that where an is so young and he’s that so when you got somebody like that alongside you yeah who’s able to lead even at a young age I got to I got to do what the I got to do to be a killer and still care for the guys around you and the team and your players like cuz you can sabotage everything by being too much Killer without no like love for you know what I’m saying involvement and inclusion big shout out to cat and N they did a great job of not making us have the double tonight I mean they was playing straight up and they play a great defense with without fouling so they definitely helped us a lot you heard that yeah you heard that I got Anthony Edwards in the Minnesota timber was winning this series I mean I’ve seen enough this brother is some he is so Sensational it’s hard to put in the words Michael Jordan went to college for three years and then even then didn’t start doing any highlevel NBA winning for several seasons Kobe Bryant came straight from high school didn’t do any highlevel winning in the NBA Playoffs for a long time Anthony Edwards I’ll say it again is 22 2 years old and he is leading this young team do you see the similarity absolutely do and it’s a fair and it’s a reasonable conversation this isn’t hyperbole to say okay I can see where this could go let’s just not get too far ahead of ourselves I I didn’t get to play against Jordan until he was much deeper into his 20s if I had seen Michael Jordan at 22 years old you might say look at Anthony Edwards and how much more refined he is how much more polished he is at the same age that’s the point you were going to make let me tell you what different he is he’s different because he does all with a smile Jordan and Kobe did it with a scowl and not only that but he also was showing that he wants to have leadership with his team he kind of calls out teammates but he does it with a smile ever ever since the day they announced Joker for MVP from that day on he’s been dominating the MVP for the third time over Nicole leic joins us uh tonight Joker congratulations to you on number three thank you very much thank you thank you from game three it’s like he forgot he was he forgot who he was in game one and two he forgot and then he and then somebody was like hey you you the MVP you know you’re the best player right oh I am okay let me turn this up and ever since then Shred by yic but it’s set up again by that pace that’s his second foul as Joker knocks Down The Long two he’s three of six 8: a.m. in Wake of the win in game two and said I want a couple of guys to do some extra shooting quick ball reversal to yic guarded by Nas Reed who’s done a nice job on him so far this time yic with a big time hook yic has scored the last six throws it up for Gordon embracing his Bounce from the dunker spot they left him alone Joker missed it tipped it home the Nuggets 27-point win game three the second largest playoff Road franchise playoff win since 2009 Murray yic free to Fire repositions and Lumbers down the lane with a whistle and a foul that is called on town I’m going just say this to the camera bro what y’all saw Joker do in game four was called what we call giving you kitchen sink you hear me this is when you go through your list of moves and I’m hitting him with everything everything from that’s on page one all the way to 200 uh 300 he hit the man with what we call the kitchen sink the left the right the slippery ear the upper under the slippery Goose bro he is that was that was Perfection if y’all never seen Perfection basketball that was the closest thing to it he is shredding the defensive the four-time defensive player of the year and the number one defensive he’s making them look like kids I’ve never seen nothing like this there’s just no way Rudy Gober can stay with all the moves and the footwork of joic give him 31 to the on two punch of Murray and yic quickly doubled down low tripled and puts it in Big Time play by Nico yic the MVP and that is all she wrote yic will run it out five teams have come back in the best of seven series after taking a deficit of 02 when losing both at home Anthony did you you have any words with the Jamal or any of the nuggets at the end of the game there look like you oh yeah yeah I just told his as um that’s what we we love that keep keep talking that that’s what we like well I love it you know so you know he ain’t say nothing back but I’m pretty sure he hurt me they hurt me yeah we live for that even before this E series started I thought it’s going to be really interesting series just because both teams can can win and both teams can have a huge runs and both teams can and players have a a big game so you know I think it’s really interesting series they got the best player in the world so and he’s got the ball the entire game so anytime you make a mistake he sees it so I mean it’s hard to beat that good evening everyone from with the tide series at two a piece it’s a swing game tonight between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the nuggets as it shifts back here to [Music] Denver he’s got his first basket tonight it’s y a good start for Edwards thought three works on holiday shot clock at seven watches the trade in this series faes a triple yic shot clock at fight Murray to [Music] yic he got out of his seat with no crutches at all he looked every guy in the face and said Happ me he is bleeding look at this the Nuggets were up three games to two and are one game away from the Western Conference Finals yic tonight just how how tough was he to defend no matter what you were throwing at him and and what kind of a game did he have I mean you saw it he had an MVP um best player in the world performance looked like he was trying to prove a point I said to to Dre at halftime was like it’s time to send a message what Joker showed tonight is that he doesn’t feel Rudy Gober uh he he just backed up backed him down backed him down left hand right hand step this way step that way float this way he showed tonight that he didn’t feel him they have 40 points 13 assists seven rebounds and zero turnovers the MVP show that he’s the MVP uh what excites you about the possibility of you getting to go home and and return the favor and get a win on your home court I’m super excited um like I said you get to compete um so we get to go home and and play with our backs against the wall so it should be fun and um try to force game seven and come back here did you really tell the locker room staffer in Denver you were going to be back for hell yeah they know I was in there yeah I told him I said I see y’all for game seven it’s it’s not the first of three wins it’s the first of four just like when we won two we won the first of two wins it was first of four so they won three in a row then we got to try to go win game six at the at um on our home court and try to come back here [Music] we had a shocking result in Minnesota last night the Nuggets jumped out to a 9-2 lead early in the game Marie finds yic to the rim inside and flips it in quarter he got it and then the Timberwolves went on a 20 to nothing run and never looked back they ended up beating the defending Champions by 45 pointsa needs and now a steal this could be fun Edwards take the take in the slam Conley to Edwards Corner three it is good looking more like what it did in games one and two and throughout the season Edward storms in and uses the window Edwards a three you Edwards in the corner C Edwards oh what a move to they not doubling you on the post take your time don’t rush nothing through and finishes the 26-point lead a moment ago the largest of the night for the timberwol [Music] Edwards hey this what I was talking about the other day you get a lead and get comfortable keep your foot on the gas be a six or seven game series The here doesn’t matter all that matters is we’re here and so is Anthony Edwards Michael it’s going to take a time out shot clock turned off Minnesota can dribble it out crowd Rises to its feet a dominant authoritative bounceback win from the Minnesota Timberwolves we’ll see it game seven [Applause] Sunday 27 from Anthony Edwards Katie standing by thanks Ryan I have to ask you you took a really hard fall in the third quarter how’s that back feeling [Music] now I’ll be all right about Sunday for sure [Music] you’ve all been on that stage uh and sometimes the results can be amazing Pat Riley always says and one of my favorite quotes in basketball there are two things there’s winning and there’s misery every possession counts in game seven and you can’t play outside of yourself it’s no hero ball yeah and and and that’s what’s important to understand going out there guys do your role do what’s gotten this here to this [Applause] point Edwards y exing his Willams down that basine to the tonight [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Corner M so you’re down 15 at the half you’re down 20 early in the Third how did you maintain some Poise uh be patient and make this happen uh it was tough man cuz I I I couldn’t find myself my rhythm tonight um so I just had to trust my teammates man they they kept traing me even though I was off so I just had to make the right play throughout the rest of the game and and and I did that and my teammates made shots man so big big shout out to those [Music] guys here we go Edwards at the other end oh there’s a steal by Edwards here he comes on [Music] go the double at Ant-Man Edwards it’s a three go let’s go to the fourth Minnesota closes the quarter get the rebound three Defenders KN away byon is there that pedal CH sh in corner Edwards and shoots time out that’s it the timber WS have knocked out the defending Champion Denver Nuggets that was a team effort I mean this is one of the best team when one of your best players struggling you talk about Jaden you talk about car you talk about Rudy Mike cley hit a couple timely threes Nas Reed was spectacular tonight was a total team effort you got to take your head off to those guys I mean you know there’s more ways to win a basketball game um when you’re just not when you’re just not an offensive player man I’m not I’m not onedimensional I’m not just a guy who can score I’m a guy who can go whoever they best guard is I can go lock him down so I feel like I did that on Jamal in the fourth quarter and that’s what in the third quarter and fourth quarter and that’s what turned the game around
