Anthony Edwards & KAT talk Game 7 Win vs Nuggets & West Finals, FULL Postgame interview

Fu 6 for 24 oh you was I was look at me look at look at me 2 for 10 damn but look we all plus minus in the positive hell yeah Jaden had the h no my that’s how I don’t be trusting that that’s a lie that b came change the game yeah that’s cap they him 11 points with the biggest 11 points oh God it’s uh 20 I think in the third quarter like what did what did you notice what flipped for you guys to allow you to climb back in it and take this starting hitting some shots playing some defense even better at a higher level I thought and um just this is Timber woles basketball I think I think this was just a a a real showing of Timber wols basketball as finest you know where it’s a team effort uh you know we got hype for players that we have me him included on this table but like I said we have we don’t have a big three we got a big 15 you know we we every single person on this team means a lot to this team and they help in so many different ways and uh this game just shows that the Timberwolves not Anthony Edwards not Carl Anthony towns I’m Rudy go the Timberwolves are a special team scking down at the end of the game you got hundreds of fans right behind your bench going and what was that moment like for you you’ve been through a lot with this franchise what were your emotions like as you soaked in all I don’t know the camera’s caught it but uh I definitely had a moment just you know I’ve been here N9 years I’ve talked about wanting to win and uh do something special here at this organization and you know for all the failures and all the things that didn’t materialize and happen and um the disappointment that comes with it to be having this moment where even just for this moment we get to celebrate the wins you know uh for me being here 9 years I’ve seen everything and seen it all and um n year just man right but um to be here and this year these guys this team after all that it just it’s super special and you you talked about uh the the job Carl’s done defending jic and and how important this that has been in this series kind of felt like you guys really needed the offensive push from him today in in addition to that what stood out to you about his game tonight um he made all the right plays tonight like once again he only took 14 shots um he’s always super efficient from the field um and he carried us tonight every time we needed a bucket um he was there for us we gave it to him in the post multiple times he made the right play multiple times over and over again and we get on him about crashing from the top but today he crashed from the top for a big bucket that we need it so uh big shout out yeah for sure he put us on his back tonight they hate when it don’t work and they love when they love when it works that’s all I go after game five but you win two elimination games and you Koo the Champs in their own house at game seven just what type of statement win do you believe this to be about this team and the way you guys were able to win today I mean it showed us who we who we are um cuz the coaches believed in us um even though at halftime even in the third we was down 20 they like just keep making runs keep making runs and it showed us who we are man once we really lock in on the defensive end cuz offense ly we played okay but once we really lock in on the defensive end man we we’re a hell of a team to beat and it was along that run I think it was something like 31 to9 maybe even better than that from late in the or early in the third to early in the fourth was there a sequence that where you’re like okay we we got this the game is back turning in our favor yeah um I mean I don’t even know turn around the turn around I think when Rudy hit the turnar around I was like yeah we probably got him God cuz I know that’ll kill you I know that’ll kill your whole that’ll kill everything yeah hey big shout out to Big R man Big R hit the turnaround on their ass on God’s day too n yeah I think that’s when I knew we had him once he hit that turnaround you guys um Carl got that fifth foul and Nas Reed came in and and set the tone on both ends of the floor just talk about how special he’s been this series and U what he means to this team um man and cat was just talking about it up here um I think the plus minus stuff is trash because Nas when C got his F5 Nas came in and he played great defense on joic um got a got a couple offensive rebounds um hit a big shot got a big dunk um May got a couple steals he played hard man so you know he’s he’s super important to our team and U we tell him all the time just stay with it stay with it and he stayed with it tonight and it show for sure I think just for me it’s just anyone who at him being the Sixth Man of the Year the silence would be louder he showed it tonight you guys what does it look like when like at half time when like Finch comes in and it’s ticked you say what finch comes in and is mad clearly mad like what does that look like at halftime he wasn’t really mad today it was more so like he was like I know we going to win this game we just got to do this to win the game like he wasn’t really mad um he just came in and the clips on the on on the um the screen were like this what we got to do to come back and win this game if we do it we’ll win if we don’t we we going to lose and we did that perhaps on facing Dallas in the next round honestly I think this for us we just so happy about this moment we can’t even like think about the next moment I’m thinking about it but I would say for us we just got to if we continue to play Timberwolves basketball it will fix a lot of problems that we may have with that team and what they do best so as long as we play Timber branded basketball I think I like our chances for sure for both of you guys just what does it mean to go back to Target Center now you’re going to be hosting the Western Conference Finals in front of your fans just what this means for the organization in general I’m let you talk about that I only been here three years oh now you only been here three years um the fans have been waiting for this moment and this team has brought him this moment so you know it’s up to us now to capitalize on this opportunity and be the best team we could be and and like I said Play Timber basketball every time the series we play timber wolves basketball we’ve had the result we’ve been looking for and every time we try to De deviate from that plan it hasn’t done well so fans know what they want today was crazy but we was down 20 that wasn’t Timber basketball that was Park basketball then we started play that was wolves basketball that then we started playing that was wolves now we play tle wolves yes yes sir this is for either one of you guys and usually in NBA history it says you have to lose and lose big before you win what is it about this team that says we lost last year yeah but that that that’s different you have to lose at a bigger stage usually teams us it’s the playoffs we lost last year we lost the last two years God damn how much more we got to lose yeah how much you want us to lose lose it for 20 years I mean that’s just the truth dog god damn what makes what makes you guys believe that you guys don’t have to wait any longer that just getting past the second round is isn’t the goal that you guys can win the next two rounds I think um and I think this is the biggest thing to answer that question it starts without with our head coach Chris Finch um he comes in every day comes to work he gets there early he’s thinking of ways to get me and Cat open looks he’s thinking of ways to get Mike and Rudy open looks he’s thinking of ways to get Jaden involved he’s trying to keep Nas in it to get him involved he’s just a great coach and he don’t sugarcoat anything with anybody like if cat up he going to get on C if I’m up he going to get on me if Rudy up he going to get on anybody that’s messing up throughout the game and I think that’s what makes him the best coach in the NBA to me because no matter who it is no matter how high a player is on the pole he’s going to get on you from from start to finish and it starts with the head of the snake and he’s the head of of of our snake and um you know we all listen to him look up to him and he he does he do a great job of making sure we’re ready to go every night um guys uh I know this is uh something very special but what are your thoughts about that you are doing this 20 years uh later exactly than the first time that the Timberwolves were in a Western Conference Finals with kg I mean just shout out to kg happy birthday kg here’s your president from all of us was birthday was birthday happy birthday my boy so I mean it’s special it’s special anytime you get a chance to do it but like you said to have a legend who led the timber wolves like that and then come 20 years later and be able to be in the same situation that he was in I I think it’s very special thanks guys y Ed McDaniels Western Conference uh what What’s the award that they give out oh they don’t give it out yet my bad yeah but regardless yeah J McDaniels was the MVP of the last two uh series um yeah once again he did it again yeah um Jamie Daniels he’s been here three years so
