I don’t know. I don’t know. And Imma take the fine because the refs did not give us no calls tonight. We had to play through every bump, every grab — I don’t know. I don’t know how we won tonight. Big shoutout to my team, big shoutout to my coaches, for sure.

Anthony Edwards was frustrated with no calls going their way despite Chet Holmgren, who made a lot of contact on his dunk attempt, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hitting Edwards’s arm during his dunk, which wasn’t given any foul. However, all in all, it was a key win for the Wolves who extended their record to 34-14, dominating the Western half of the NBA.
