Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards’ 3-word message after sweep won’t please Suns

“Lock in twin, 12 more,” one fan said on X as a response.

Other fans included clips of Edwards celebrating during the outcome of a recent game.

Edwards’ polished, ultra-athletic and high-octane yet under control playing style had fans contemplating what the Wolves could become in the near future.

Timberwolves, Nuggets Ready For Battle

The Timberwolves and defending champion Nuggets are set to battle it out this weekend on Saturday, May 4 in Denver. The Nuggets are the two seed and Edwards and Chris Finch’s team is the three seed.

The Nuggets’ home court advantage came be tough to overcome considering the high altitude and the Nuggets’ youth and experience at multiple positions. The Timberwolves’ matchup with the Suns was billed as “young vs. old,” an assertion based largely on Suns star Kevin Durant’s relatively old age.

For the Timberwolves to knock off the defending champs, one thing’s for sure: it’s going to take an even better effort than the one they showed against the Suns, and Edwards will have to continue his dominant play, which could be tougher against a talented Denver backcourt.

Edwards’ confidence borders on cockiness. He will meet his match in Jamal Murray, the Nuggets guard who nailed two game winners with a high degree of difficulty this past week. Expect must-see TV, as well as plenty of one-liners from Edwards throughout the series, especially if the Timberwolves continue their winning ways.
