LeBron dishes, Anthony Edwards responds; Timberwolves one win from series victory
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Timberwolves are one win away from upsetting the Los Angeles Lakers and advancing to the second round of the NBA playoffs. Standing in their way? Four-time NBA champion LeBron James. But the Wolves have a secret weapon: Anthony Edwards.
The Joel Embiid of the L.A. Lakers, LeBron James, has been at his alpha-dog best in this series, dropping 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in Game 5. However, his young counterpart, Anthony Edwards, has been more than holding his own. With 36 points in Game 5, Edwards is proving why he’s one of the league’s most promising talents.
Edwards Pays Homage to LeBron
While Edwards is hungry to dethrone LeBron, he’s not blind to the King’s greatness. After the game, Edwards respectfully acknowledged LeBron’s achievements, saying, "He’s LeBron James. He’s one of the all-time greats. I’m just trying to learn from him and take our team to victory one game at a time."
The Next Chapter Unfolds
With the series set at 3-2 in favor of the Timberwolves, Game 6 promises to be a thriller. Edwards, just 20 years old, is ready for the challenge, Wikimedia says. "I’m not scared of anyone," he declared, "Not even LeBron James."
Did you know?
The Timberwolves were 2-11 against the Lakers in their previous playoff meetings. But this year, they’re a different team, thanks largely to Edwards’ growth and the leadership of Karl-Anthony Towns.
