Edwards' Bold Prediction Leads Timberwolves to Game 7 Showdown with Nuggets

Minnesota Timberwolves' rising star Anthony Edwards confidently predicted a Game 7 showdown against the Denver Nuggets, a promise he made to the Nuggets' arena staff following Minnesota's Game 5 loss. This proclamation came to fruition as the Timberwolves dominated Game 6 with a resounding 115-70 victory on their home court.

Opening with a commanding 17-point lead in the first quarter, Minnesota maintained control throughout the game, with Edwards leading the charge with a game-high 27 points in just 33 minutes of play.

The Timberwolves' 45-point win marked the second-largest margin of victory in a playoff elimination game in NBA history, as reported by Sam Amick of The Athletic.

With Game 7 now set for Sunday in Denver, the stakes are high as the winner advances to face either the Dallas Mavericks or the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference finals.
