Jamal Murray is “feeling great” and is very hungry to have a big Game 7 according to Michael Malone. “Look like he hadn’t eaten in two days. So hopefully that carries over tomorrow. I hope he doesn’t eat until tomorrow until 6:00 p.m.” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 5:14 PM

Just watched Jamal Murray make 15-of-16 shots all around the 3-point line while an assistant was putting his arm up to challenge. When Michael Malone was asked how hungry Murray is to have a big Game 7, Malone said Murray looked very hungry, as if he hadn’t eaten in 2 days. – 2:39 PM

Just so everyone knows and so hopefully Wolves players/coaches stop being asked about “switching the matchup up so KAT is on Jokic,” KAT has been Jokic’s primary every game.

The Wolves’ activity has been incredible on the perimeter and on the boards. And Anthony Edwards is filling it up. But a big part of this hot start, IMO, has been KAT’s aggression and decisiveness on the offensive end. – 9:07 PM

Dave McMenamin: Anthony Edwards when asked if him and the Wolves want to win Game 7 for veteran point guard Mike Conley, who is 0-for-4 in Game 7s in his career: “I want to win for myself” pic.twitter.com/mDpcJDXiTu -via Twitter @mcten / May 18, 2024
Edwards stayed in close touch with Towns while he was out, making sure he felt included — and needed — while he was rehabilitating, and publicly celebrated his return. Towns was touched. “I’ve always strived to be the best teammate I could possibly be,” Towns told ESPN. “From day one, I’ve made everything about winning here in Minnesota, as much as people have tried to discredit it. So to have someone come in here and immediately see who I am as a person and as a teammate and respect that and never diminish it is humbling.” -via ESPN / May 18, 2024
When the Wolves drafted Anthony Edwards No. 1 in 2020, it was essentially their last chance to get it right with Karl-Anthony Towns. It has worked out better than anyone could have imagined. “It’s led to a friendship and a relationship that I don’t think many people get to have,” Towns said. “I don’t know many NBA players that get to have the kind of relationship where you truly know that it’s purely love for each other. As much as he wants to see me win is more. I want to see him win even more.” -via ESPN / May 18, 2024
