In his postgame press conference, Edwards stated that he was trying to send a message to LeBron and the Lakers with his physical play.
“It’s going to be physical, man,” Edwards told reporters after the Timberwolves’ 116-113 victory. “Just letting him know that we’re here. You ain’t just gonna push us around all night… Just trying to be a pest to him out there.”
“We played together for USA and he was like a big brother to me,” Edwards said. “He looked out for me, helped me out a lot, read the game, IQ and everything. Just trying to be a pest to him out there.”
