In True MJ Style, Anthony Edwards Proves Isiah Thomas Horribly Wrong on Live TV: “I’ve Never Been…”

Despite the glaring odds against them, Minnesota displayed its extreme toughness and fortitude under adversity. They claimed their first win of the series while on the brink of elimination. Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves cornerstone hit the dagger to win a nail-biting Game 4. If he lost, it would have been the first sweep of his career. Like Michael Jordan, Ant-Man couldn’t let a loss tarnish his legacy.

Immediately after winning the game, reporters wanted to hear from Edwards. The 22-year-old had a slight smile on his face as he collected his thoughts. The former No.1 pick had only just found out before Game 4 that he hadn’t been swept in his short postseason career so far. His animal mentality wouldn’t allow for the brooms to come out. He managed to recreate an iconic MJ moment. “I’ve never been swept so I took it personal, man. I didn’t want to get swept. I definitely didn’t want to get swept”.

“Not on their home court. Hearing their fans talk trash all day,” Edwards said when asked what took over the Wolves after being down 0-3. The moment was reminiscent of Jordan’s energy, something Isiah Thomas might be forced to reconsider.

Before the game, the arch-rival of the Chicago Bulls great denied any similarities between MJ and Edwards. He claimed, “Just because they both jump high doesn’t mean they’re the same players. Their games aren’t similar to me”. Well, Ant-Man might have taken it personally too.

With the series on the line and Wolves up marginally, he took all the onus on himself. With Towns fouled out, it had to be him. He slipped past a screen and hit a silky mid-range to secure Minnesota’s first win of the series. His shot oozed Jordan’s numerous clutch shots.

In the pivotal matchup, Edwards flirted with a triple-double, going for 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists. The Wolves pillar continued to stay aggressive and for the first time seemed eager to have the ball in his hands during the final quarter. The series now heads back to Minnesota’s backyard. The series now heads back to Minnesota’s backyard. All they have to do to keep the series alive is get a home win, a feat Luka Doncic and the Mavs have prevented them from achieving.

The emergence of Karl-Anthony Towns proves to be the difference-maker for Anthony Edwards and Co.

The Timberwolves desperately were hoping for Karl-Anthony Towns to have a monster night. In the series so far, KAT was shooting just 14% from three while averaging 14 points per game. More than the occasion, he needed a highlight performance to rejuvenate his own confidence.

In the first half, it was the same story. Towns couldn’t get his shots to fall. He only had 4 points at midway. His fortunes turned in the second half, specifically the fourth quarter. With the pressure at its apex and both teams trading baskets, the 28-year-old valiantly rubbed off his appalling start to knock down three triples in a matter of minutes.

He finished the game with 25 points, missing only one of his five three-point attempts. His resurgence is going to be key for Minnesota while heading home for Game 5. With momentum barely in their grasp, it’s up to the Wolves to capitalize on their road win. The 3 seed has won three straight in the postseason this year. They have to repeat the same task from this position.
