KB Sports: The Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated Milwaukee 113-108 Thursday night, and despite Ayonnes playing a monster-like game, his dominance was absolute, and his scoring skills under the basket and on the flanks, as well as his monster-like physical fitness, were a bit of a headache for the defenders. His statistics for this game are also very eye-catching, able to match his identity, and he can help the team launch the attack in time after his teammates are mute in the half-court attack. After the game, the timberwolves' most entertaining members took some time to express their surprise at Giannis's performance on the basketball court.
Anthony Edwards spoke to the media about the team's approach to slowing down Giannis. He made it clear that the team's plan was not to let Giannis beat them, and while he said they had a win, he acknowledged the Timberwolves' inability to contain him and failed whenever attempts to slow him down failed. "Like a guy, you can't emphasize his score," Edwards said. "That's what he's going to do. This guy is 7 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 280 pounds, and there's nothing you can do about it. Like, damn, we put four guys on him and he's still scoring, and he's really hard to handle, such physical talent for such flexibility. "
Edwards went on to say that he had never met anyone like Giannis, and, "He's remarkable, man." I had nothing to say to him, he was unstoppable. To be fair, Edwards isn't particularly easy to stop either — the second-year guard has 25 points, seven rebounds, three assists and one steal, while also providing us with an updated series of quotes that tell us he's one of the funniest guys in the league.
