Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards went off vs. the Denver Nuggets
The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets in Game 1 behind a dominant Anthony Edwards performance. When asked about Edwards after the game, Nikola Jokic spoke highly of the star guard.
"Of course he is a special player," Jokic said."I have a huge respect for him. He can do everything on the floor. You need to enjoy and respect your opponent and how good and how talented he is. But it was him in the first half, he scored like 20-something in the first half. Then it was , Mike had some big points, Naz Reid had an amazing fourth quarter, and of course Ant had a really good fourth quarter too.
On the game overall, Jokic added,"I think it was an interesting game. I think it was good basketball for fans that like basketball. I think both teams had their runs. It was a tie game for a long stretch. They went on a run in the last couple of minutes and that’s how they won the game. What we were missing, I don’t know. It seems like they made a lot of shots, especially in the second half. Some of them were open, some of them were not open. It’s a part of basketball.
