The Minnesota Timberwolves emphatically embarrassed the Phoenix Suns by sweeping them in the NBA playoffs. On Sunday, they secured a series win, boosted by Karl-Anthony Towns‘ sensational 28-point and 10-rebound outing. How did KAT have one of the best games of his career? You need to hear Anthony Edwards’ absolutely funny NSFW explanation to understand just how tremendous it was.
The Suns are probably not going to want to turn on the film for their abysmal playoff series anytime soon. Anthony Edwards was unraveling them any chance he got, dropping 30-plus points in three out of four games, including Sunday’s monster 40-point performance. But it wasn’t just Edwards. It was KAT, too.
When the Timberwolves went cold during a potential series-clinching game, it was Towns who dropped some timely buckets to give Minnesota its first playoff series win since 2004. Anthony says there’s a simple reason for that. KAT didn’t foul. No, really.
Here’s what he told the media about KAT’s special night (Warning: NSFW language.):
“Tonight, he wasn’t in foul trouble. The first three games, the [expletive] just kept fouling….”
“He’s the best offensive player on the team. If he’s not in foul trouble, it’s a problem for any team that has to guard us because he can stretch the floor. He can post. He can pass. He can do everything….Just stop [expletive] fouling.”
Great answer here from Anthony Edwards on KAT’s importance, and for him to “stop f**king fouling.” pic.twitter.com/B079yJ0Eo4
