Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards on his exchange with Suns’ Kevin Durant in blowout Game 1 win: “I think everybody here knows that’s my favorite player of all time. That was probably one of the best feelings ever in my whole life, for sure,” Golliver tweeted.

For his part, Durant explained how he felt about Edwards talking trash to him, as seen in a video posted by Duane Rankin on X:

Both stars are seen as the most instrumental in their team’s respective playoff quests. Durant averaged 27/1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists during the regular season, while Edwards tallied 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in 79 games.
