The Minnesota Timberwolves haven't gotten the scoring performances that they've expected out of Anthony Edwards through two games of the Western Conference Finals. But the All-Star says he's coming out aggressive in Game 3.
Speaking to the media ahead of Sunday night's tip-off, Edwards shared his mentality going into Minnesota's pivotal playoff game.
"Y'all going to see tonight… It's going to be a lot of shots. I'm gonna be super aggressive," Ant said. "I mean, I haven't taken more than 16 shots in each game so I'm gonna be ultra-aggressive coming out for sure. ... I don't care who's in front of me, I'm just trying to get to my spot and shoot."
Edwards has scored 19 and 21 points in the first two games of the series and has struggled to consistently knock down jumpers since playing the Denver Nuggets.
The T'Wolves are going to need more from their budding superstar if they're going to find their way back into this thing.
As great as it is that Edwards can make an impact on both ends of the floor, it's his offense that really sets the tone for this Timberwolves team.
The Mavs and Wolves tip-off at 8 PM ET on TNT. Dallas enters as a 2.5-point favorite.
