The Timberwolves didn’t just beat the Lakers in Game 1—they made a statement. And it turns out, that fire started with a message from Anthony Edwards before the series even tipped off.
“Just, you know, we’re the underdogs and be aggressive. Come out ready to fight,” Ant told reporters postgame. “It’s going to be a dog fight… Everybody got to trust their work, trust themselves.”
Clearly, the team got the memo.
After trailing early, Minnesota roared back with a 38–20 second quarter and never looked back, torching the Lakers 117–95 on their home floor. Jaden McDaniels was nearly perfect with 25 points on 11-of-13 shooting, while Edwards added 22.
It’s just one win—but if Game 1 was any indication, the “underdogs” are coming for the throne.
And Edwards? He’s got this team believing it’s theirs to take.
(This is a building story…)
