ANTHONY EDWARDS
“It was tough, man, because I couldn’t find myself, my rhythm tonight,” Edwards said. “So, I just had to trust my teammates. … I just had to make the right plays throughout the rest of the game. I did that, and my teammates made shots. Big shoutout to those guys.”
“I think when Rudy hit the turnaround, I was like, ‘Yeah, we probably got them,'” Edwards said when asked when he truly felt momentum had turned in Minnesota’s favor. “Big shoutout to Big Ru, hit the turnaround on their a–.”
RUDY GOBERT
“It feels great,” Gobert said. “Beating a team like they are, an incredible team, a championship team, with the best player in the world, it feels good.”
MIKE CONLEY
“I just want these guys to understand,” Conely said. “I don’t think they understand what they just did. Accomplishing what they have and getting to the West Conference finals is a great opportunity. Don’t take it for granted. Celebrate the moment now, but be ready to go. You have another team waiting for you. Everybody’s in the way of your goals, so you have to be ready to go.”
