The crowd present at Target Center went electric after witnessing the electric performance of the Wolves star Anthony Edwards. With a Blowout win, Ant delivered a solid reply to all the critics who believed that the Suns were a bad matchup for the Wolves.
Trash-talking has become a norm in the NBA, and many players use it as a tactic to throw their opponents out of their game. The instances of the Wolves star trash-talking to Suns’ ace Kevin Durant have been leaked. In the video, Edwards can be heard saying some nasty stuff to the 14-time All-Star.
Durant guarded the Wolves star for the majority of the game, and when Edwards got an opportunity to score, he let his words fly. Ant made an attempt to drive in the paint but was stopped by Durant midway. Edwards showed his brilliance, beautifully pulled off a feint, and went to the edge of the court to score a three. Following that play, Ant said, “Can’t guard me? What the f**k did I tell you N****? Old A** N****!“
The Wolves star was very hyped and full of confidence after dominating one of the best scorers in the league’s history. On the other hand, Kevin Durant did not seem to mind the trash talk and was seen laughing. As a veteran, he understands that intensity in games can sometimes drive players to say things they don’t really mean. It was a display of excellent sportsmanship from the Phoenix Suns star.
