Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards wasn’t afraid to put Thursday’s game in his own hands … and wasn’t afraid to let everyone know about it, including Minnesota head coach Chris Finch.
Edwards made a huge shot to give the Timberwolves a 92-88 lead over the Los Angeles Clippers with 42.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter, before getting in Finch’s face.

“That’s what I do,” Edwards could be seen telling Finch on the broadcast after the shot.
The Timberwolves went on to win 94-88 and Edwards was asked about that moment during his postgame interview with Amazon Prime.
“The play before, when I took the midrange over two (players), (Finch) said to pass the ball and I told him, ‘You don’t want me to pass the ball, you want me to shoot it,'” Edwards said.
Edwards had 31 points, five assists and three rebounds for the Timberwolves. He shot 12-of-24 from the field, including 2-for-6 from the 3-point line.
