Final Rotations for the Nuggets as they lose to the T’Wolves 106-99 and drop Game 1.
Think Denver underestimated Minnesota with the way it all started. Y’all clowned me, but that start hurt Denver in the long run.
Anthony Edwards cooked everyone in front of him.
Long series. pic.twitter.com/6HTX8M1N0h – 9:28 PM

I know Anthony Edwards isn’t the best player in this series. Nikola Jokic is.
Anthony Edwards doesn’t know that. Nor does he care. – 9:02 PM

That tech was disgraceful, man.
There is not a soul watching this game that thought “wow, I’m offended by that Anthony Edwards stare. I want the outcome of this very close playoff game to potentially hinge on a technical foul because of it.” – 8:48 PM

Jamal Murray didn’t score in the first half, Jokić shot 5-14 and the Nuggets are up by 4 at the half.
Gotta keep finding and feeding Michael Porter Jr and have that same effort and energy from the second unit.
Anthony Edwards has 25 points and the rest of the Wolves are 6-27 – 8:10 PM

Denver leads this one 44-40 at the half. Anthony Edwards with 25 of Minnesota’s points. Don’t know if everyone else it too amped, trying too hard or what, but everyone not named Ant is 6-for-27 – 8:04 PM

This is one of the most insane first-half statistical distributions I’ve ever seen.
Anthony Edwards has 25. Karl Towns has 9.
No other Timberwolves has made more than one shot.
And it’s a close game! pic.twitter.com/2WHZQRVcI0 – 8:04 PM

Anthony Edwards has 20 points, his 4th 20-point half of the playoffs. Tied with Jalen Brunson for most in these playoffs. (h/t @Twolves_PR) – 8:00 PM

Jokic playing at the level of all Anthony Edwards screens……The Nuggets are very comfortable with Rudy Gobert handling the ball on the short roll – 7:28 PM

There is going to be a time this summer when Team USA is on the verge of losing a colossal upset, and Anthony Edwards is going to look LeBron, Steph, KD in the eyes and say “give me the ball. now.” – 7:16 PM

The Timberwolves begin the game ahead 12-2. Anthony Edwards with 9 points early. Getting off to a good start was paramount for them. They’ve done that. – 7:12 PM

It is extremely rare that the Wolves don’t have Jaden McDaniels guard the point of attack. But they’re opting to put him on Michael Porter Jr., Anthony Edwards gets the Jamal Murray assignment. – 7:09 PM
