Asked Anthony Edwards if he considers himself a young star yet, after saying he can’t be that until he wins in playoffs: “Nah, not yet. Not yet. I can’t say that yet.”

Anthony Edwards took a question intended for KAT on what opened up for KAT tonight and basically said: “He stopped f-in fouling.” Said when KAT doesn’t do that he’s a huge matchup problem. – 1:25 AM

Karl-Anthony Towns has seen a lot and been through a lot in nine years with the Wolves. One of his best games ever tonight. 28 pts, 10r, 3a, 4-6 3s. When no Wolves could make a shot, he was making everything to keep them in it. Lot of hustle plays too. – 12:56 AM
