Hello and welcome to the Athletic NBA show.

I'm Dave DeFore here with Mo DeKeele for your Game 7 Sunday post game show.

And Mo DeKeele, we just watched the champs get knocked off.

The Minnesota Timberwolves pull it out in seven games.

They win game seven, 98 to 90.

The wolves were just too sweet in this one, Mo.

This was unbelievable.

I mean, it's almost one of those things where like, look, you want to talk a little bit

about the nuggets blowing a 20-point lead, but I don't even know how much of it is them blowing it or the wolves just taking it and really kind of going. I mean, it was almost a 30 point turnaround, you know, by the end of the game. I mean, this was just one of those things where the Nuggets go up 20 and I was like, wow, this might be a wrap. And this is about like midway through the third quarter and then just something snapped, something clicked within the wolves. And they all of a sudden just snap back to, we're going to lock down defensively. We're going a little bit offensively. I thought Kat had a really good game until some dumb mistakes towards the end of the

game. But like they got stuff from him. They got Jaden McDaniels. They had everybody clicking

except Anthony Edwards. And that's where you would think like they would lose this game.

But Anthony Edwards goes six to 24. You would think they lost that. If you told me that from

the beginning, I'd be like, oh, they got blown out. But the thing about Anthony Edwards is that he never stopped moving, never stopped playing defense. And the rest of those guys did their job. You mentioned Anthony Edwards, rough game, six to 24, two of 10 from three, plus 11 for the game, 16 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, a couple of steals, including a big steal that,

in my opinion, really just turning the game around. He picked off Jamal Murray and it was over.

That was when, and there were a lot of momentum swings in this game, but toward the end,

there was a crescendo for the wolves. Let's set it up before we get to Rudy Gobert and

some of the stuff that he hit.

I mean, this was just the wolves had everything go right for them in the second half.

They were down 15 at halftime, down as much as 20 in the third.

And they just, something clicked.

And a big part of that, and I think this is the Carl Anthony Towns game, actually.

Carl Anthony Towns was able to execute the defensive game plan against Yokic, which is what
