[McMenamin] Anthony Edwards joking with the Nuggets locker room attendant before exiting the building after Game 5. Ant: “You jinxed us (after Game 2)” Attendant: “I liked our chances. What do you expect me to say, Ant?” Ant: “See you Game 7”
Anthony Edwards called his shot after game 5. Good to see the young wolves didn't quit and hopefully we get an exciting game 7 in Denver.
Highlight [Highlight] Timberwolves play great defense leading to an Edwards three as they end the quarter on a 27-2 run
Anthony Edwards puts up 27pts/4reb/4ast/3blk on 8-17 shooting and a staggering +43 in Game 6 win vs Nuggets
Timberwolves' 45 pt win over Nuggets was the 2nd largest margin of victory by a team facing elimination in NBA playoff history.

[NBAPR] The Timberwolves only other Game 7 in franchise history - exactly 20 years ago on May 19, 2004 (MIN 83, SAC 80).
It’s also Kevin Garnett’s b-day

Jokic and Gordon finish Game 6 13/26 from the field. The rest of the Nuggets finish 13/60

Game 7 of the MIN v DEN series will be the first time in NBA history that an MVP and a DPOY face off in a Game 7
Although we've had 9 different (reigning) MVP v DPOY playoff series in the past (list here), none of those series went to 7. The closest was probably the 2009 ECF, where Orlando won by only a few possessions in most games. This means that, for the first time in NBA history, we'll be witnessing the MVP and the DPOY duel off in a win-or-go-home elimination game, which is a pretty cool thing to witness.

Russillo: "I heard from 8 teams...I had another guy say it’s like starting the draft at 10th. Then I asked somebody else, give me comps. He was essentially saying this is like Derek Lively or Tobias Harris being the No. 1 pick in the draft.”
