According to recent reports by NBA analyst Sam Amick of The Athletic, Anthony Edwards, the star player for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is not convinced that Minnesota’s series against the Dallas Mavericks is over despite trailing 0-3. He mentioned that he doesn’t think Dallas can beat them in game four and believes they will make a comeback in the series.
“It’s time to make history, fellas; I still don’t feel like they can beat us, bro. We haven’t all been clicking at one time. One game. One game. Well, we’re here now, fellas. What are we gonna do?” Edwards said.
No NBA team has ever won a seven-game series in the playoffs after losing the first three games. Only four teams have managed to take the series to a winner-take-all Game 7, with the most recent being the Boston Celtics last season.
