Wolves' Anthony Edwards says he predicted Game 7 in NSFW interaction with Nuggets staffer

Wolves’ Anthony Edwards told Denver locker room staffer he’d be back for Game 7

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Timberwolves forced a Game 7 matchup against the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets — and Anthony Edwards says he predicted it.

Edwards scored 27 points Thursday night to pull the Wolves out of a three-game losing streak in the Western Conference semifinal series, dismantling the Nuggets 117-70 in Game 6 at Target Center.

Edwards made reporters laugh during the post-game press conference while confirming he had told a Nuggets locker room staffer that he'd be back following the team's rough loss in Game 5.  

"They know, I was in there," he said. "I told them. I said 'I'll see y'all motherf*****s for Game 7.'"

Game 6 was the largest winning margin in an NBA postseason game in nearly 10 years. It also marked the first time a defending NBA champion lost in the playoffs by more than 36 points.

In the fourth quarter, Edwards was seen gesturing with seven fingers as the game was clearly heading to a Minnesota victory.
