The Minnesota Timberwolves weren’t supposed to be in the Western Conference Finals, but here they are, with a real chance at the NBA Finals for the first time in 20 years. After beating the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of their second-round series, the Minnesota Timberwolves are having the time of their lives — especially their two star players, Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Unforgettable Postgame Moments
The two held court in the postgame press conference after that decisive win over Denver, and fans couldn’t get enough of them. From jokes to jabs and some brutal honesty, they appeared to embody what it means to bask in the thrill of victory.
Edwards, never one to miss a beat, shot back with, “Man, f–k them nine years.”
Like a regular comedy duo, Towns set Edwards up again later when he was asked about facing the Mavericks in the next round.
Edwards replied, “I’m thinking about it.”
Lessons from the Press Conference
Then, a reporter dared assert that teams in the NBA usually have to lose on the big stage before they can win there. The reporter probably meant in the second round, specifically, but the pair took another view.
“How much more we gotta lose?” Towns asked.
Finally, the two offered a lesson on Wolves vs. Timberwolves — an important distinction that the NBA community may have been unaware of. When Edwards brought up that they trailed by 20 points in Game 7 before rallying to win, Towns said, “That wasn’t Minnesota Timberwolves basketball. That was park basketball.”
