Anthony Edwards continues to steal the spotlight in the NBA world with his phenomenal sportsmanship and athleticism. The Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard added more substance to his hype after beating the defending champions Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of the NBA Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals on Sunday night.

Now that nothing’s in the way for Edwards and Minnesota to advance to the West Finals, his confidence is on the spot. Towards the end of the game, a mini-scene broke out between Edwards and Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. This scene seems to have bolstered Ant-Man’s hype and style as he gets ready to face their final opponent. 

Robert Griffin III is awestruck with Anthony Edwards

After the win, Anthony Edwards was seen waving goodbye to the Denver fans leading to an exchange with NBA Champion Nikola Jokic who towered over him at 6’11. Following this scene, former NFL QB Robert Griffin III expressed his admiration for Ant-Man’s resilient attitude on the court and also set a warning for the Dallas Mavericks posting, “He ain’t backing down from NOBODY.”

In the upset victory for the Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards recorded 16 points on 6 of 24 shooting along with eight rebounds and seven assists. Jokic locked in a remarkable performance scoring 34 points, 19 rebounds, and seven assists but sadly for the Nuggets, it wasn’t enough as they lost to Edwards and the Timberwolves 98-90 after a spectacular 30-point turnaround in the second half. With this win, Minnesota will now advance to the West Finals with the Mavericks where Edwards will face basketball greats Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are set to meet the Dallas Mavericks 

The Dallas Mavericks may not have played according to their expectations this season whenever they meet the Timberwolves. Although they have stars like 8X NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving and 5X NBA All-Star Luka Doncic, they’re 1-3 against Edwards’ team this regular season. But since their last meeting on January 31, they’ve made some changes. 

The Mavericks now have Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington, both of whom have helped them advance to the conference final. They have two conference titles and an NBA Championship in 2011 compared to the Timberwolves’ zero conference titles. Meanwhile, right after his last victory, Edwards had headed to the gym to keep it working for the game ahead. Will the Timberwolves get the chance to clinch their first conference title against the Mavericks? Be there on Wednesday night to see what happens.
