Edwards Embraces Double-Teams as Timberwolves Sweep Nuggets for 3-Game Streak

On March 2, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets 117‑108 on the road to secure their third straight win.

Despite facing heavy double-teams from Denver all game long, Anthony Edwards finished with 21 points and 6 assists to lead his team to victory. Notably, Edwards’ attitude toward being double-teamed has changed dramatically compared to last season.

Speaking after the game about Denver’s defensive game plan: “I said last year I didn’t like being double-teamed. But now I realize it’s a sign of respect. They don’t just double-team me — they do it as soon as I cross half-court.” “Now I don’t get mad about it anymore,” Edwards added. “At the end of the day, when I’m double-teamed, it’s 4-on-3 for us on the floor. As long as we win, I don’t care how much they double-team me.”
