In the upcoming playoff series between the Timberwolves and the Nuggets, basketball fans will be treated to a battle of the best players in the world. While Anthony Edwards has proven himself to be one of the top players in the game, he still needs to prove that he belongs in the same category as Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Luka Doncic.
Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch praised Edwards for his impressive performance during Game 1 of the series. Despite facing intense defensive pressure, Edwards made the right plays, stayed aggressive, and orchestrated the game with ease. Finch believes that Edwards’ ability to sustain this level of play during the playoffs demonstrates high-level basketball.
While Finch commended Edwards for his performance, he remains convinced that Nikola Jokic is still the best player in town. Jokic’s calm demeanor and skill in controlling the pace of the game make him a force to be reckoned with on the court. The Nuggets’ two-time MVP and championship winner remains unfazed by any challenge on his way to becoming a dominant player once again.
As both teams prepare for Game 2 of their thrilling matchup, Finch emphasized that an aggressive defensive approach will be crucial for containing Jokic and securing another victory for his team. He urged his players to disrupt Jokic’s rhythm and make him uncomfortable on
