'Imma take the fine': Anthony Edwards rips 'cheating' refs

Anthony Edwards wasn’t particularly pleased with the officiating in the Timberwolves’ 107-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday night in Oklahoma City.

Bally Sports North’s Lea B. Olson asked Edwards in his postgame, on-court interview how the Timberwolves were able to come into Oklahoma City and pull out a win. He took that as an opportunity to rip into the officiating.

“I don’t know. I don’t know. And Imma take the fine because the refs did not give us no calls tonight,” Edwards said. “We had to play through every bump, every grab — I don’t know. I don’t know how we won tonight. Big shoutout to my team, big shoutout to my coaches, for sure.”

Before the interview, the on-court television cameras captured Edwards appearing to say "cheating a** refs" after the final horn sounded.

Edwards was visibly frustrated in the first half when Chet Holmgren made a lot of contact on his dunk attempt in transition and was not called for a foul. 

Edwards also had a big dunk in the fourth quarter that put the Wolves up 101-97 with just under two minutes remaining. It appeared that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit his arm as he went up for the dunk. No call.
