Anthony Edwards: 'Everyone's counting us out. It ain't over'
In a quiet Timberwolves locker room, Anthony Edwards sat at his locker, his back to the room and overheard Jaylen Nowell lamenting another difficult playoff defeat and the 3-0 hole in which they find themselves. He stood up and turned to deliver an impossible-to-miss message for Nowell and anyone else who was listening. “This series is not over,” Edwards said. “It’s the first to four, not to three. I promise you it ain’t over. Everyone’s counting us out. It ain’t over. I promise you.”

Nuggets have to be ready for heavy doses of Anthony Edwards tonight — particularly in the pick-and-roll and two-man game. Downhill drives to the rim are most concerning.
Five of Edwards’ 10 second-half baskets in Game 2 came out of two-man action-type of looks. pic.twitter.com/72jAUdK13A – 5:19 PM
