Minnesota Timberwolves: Anthony Edwards Reveals Exact Game 7 Moment He Knew Denver Nuggets Were Cooked

Edwards and teammate Karl-Anthony Towns had huge smiles on their faces in their post-game press conference — and understandably so. The pair spoke about a specific moment in the fourth quarter that they felt was the ultimate turning point in the contest.

According to Edwards, he knew that the Nuggets were done after seeing big man Rudy Gobert hit a wild fadeaway turnaround jumper all over Nikola Jokic:

“When Rudy hit the turnaround, I was like ‘ yeah, we probably got ‘em,’” Edwards said. “… I know that’d kill you, that’d kill your whole everything”

In case you missed it, here is the play in question:

Nothing but net for Gobert, and you could almost feel the collective hearts of the Denver home crowd hit the floor after seeing that ball go in.

To be fair, the Wolves were up by just four points after Gobert’s miracle shot with a little less than eight minutes remaining in the fourth. However, Edwards knew how demoralizing that deuce was for the Nuggets and their fans.

True enough, the Wolves never looked back from that point forward.
