Anthony Edwards brought the series alive with his explosive night at Target Center. The Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t let the Denver Nuggets take one bit of the night, as Ant-Man completely dominated the visitors. And the praises came flying in. Dwayne Wade, along with Gilbert Arenas, joined fans to hail Ant-Man as he forced Game 7.

The Miami Heat legend D-Wade took to his X handle and declared Edwards a ‘Dawg’. Wade’s reaction came in as a result of Ant-Man‘s explosive dunk in the third quarter to balloon the lead to 24 points. Even though Ant-Man has scored his playoff-high of 44 points in a losing cause in this series, tonight’s 27 points on a crucial Game 6 fetched him a grand title from the 2x NBA Champ.

Following the recent Hall of Famer, ex-Dubs star Gilbert Arenas took to X handle to inform the world about the upcoming schedule. He wrote, “#SeeYaGame7” to inform the fans about the high-octane thriller brewing in Ball Arena on Saturday. Interestingly, Anthony Edwards himself took up the task of informing the fans about Game 7.

Around the 8th-minute mark in the fourth quarter, Anthony Edwards clocked out of the game after the team took the lead to 36 points. Before heading to the bench, the #5 gestured seven fingers to the rousing fans. The team looked completely different from how they operated in their 3-game losing streak in the series.

While Edwards averaged 30.2 points in the series, analysts and fans pointed their fingers at the rest of the roster for the ‘no show’. Especially, Rudy Gobert faced a lot of heat for his inability to contain the reigning MVP Nikola Jokić. However, tonight, Jaden McDaniels stood alongside the ‘Dawg’ to lead the team to a dominating 70-115 win. McDaniels dropped 21 points with an impressive 8-10 FG, which included 3 three-pointers.

Fans laud Anthony Edwards for forcing a “hostile” Game 7

Ant-Man along with his teammates, did everything they could to hand the Nuggets one of the most embarrassing defeats. After winning three games on the trot, the Denver side looked like they were in a hot pursuit to defend their title. And to put a speed breaker on it, Ant-Man led the side with an impressive night and the fans couldn’t have enough of it.

One of them sent out an emotional message regarding the Wolves’ new face. They wrote, “Whatever happens in Game 7, or from here on out. The “same old Timberwolves” thing is dead. Bury it. It’s over. This team is nothing like those that came before it.” Notably, the Wolves have had an impressive run, in terms of their franchise history.

The last time they ever won a playoff series was in 2004.

A large section of the fans hoped for the side to pull off a similar effort in Game 7 and move to the Conference Finals. A fan wrote, “Anthony Edwards in a Game 7 hostile environment, he might dead as drop a 50 piece masterpiece.” Moving into an unexplored territory, fans have a huge expectation of the rising superstar.

Another fan took Ant-Man‘s Game 7 gesture to his memory books as he called it an iconic picture. The fate of the picture will only depend on the result of the Saturday night game.

Importantly, one user pointed out the 22-year-old’s commitment to play the game despite a scary fall to his back in the third quarter. They wrote, “Anthony Edwards is injured but plays like beast.”

Given the amount of love coming from the fans, will he be able to live up to their expectations? It is certainly a do-or-die game for either side. Let us know your predictions in the comments below.
