Anthony Edwards is a known loudmouth. But tonight, he was instrumental in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ narrow 131-128 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. But in typical Ant fashion, his manner of celebration was only fit for mature audiences.
Edwards made a block in overtime to deny Shai Gilgeous-Alexander a basket. And this turned out to be pivotal given how narrow their victory was. Stood alongside Jaden McDaniels and Nickell Alexander-Walker, Ant-Man seemed ecstatic as Lea Bolsen approached them for a post-game interview.
“Way to f—-in hoop, y’all!” proclaimed Ant, unable to contain his excitement.

Lea had to quickly check him, reminding Edwards that they were on national TV. “Gentlemen, we’re live now. We’re on air now, Ant,” she said. And Ant seemed to understand the situation as he nodded and tried to tone down his excitement. It was quick thinking on Lea’s part to stop this situation from getting worse and save Anthony from himself.
