Nuggets guard Jamal Murray and Christian Braun were near midcourt, clapping and talking as the time ran out on the Timberwolves on Sunday night.
Wolves star Anthony Edwards looked at Murray, clapped and talked back.
"We love that," Edwards said. "Keep talking that. That's what we like. Well, I love it. He didn't say nothing back, but I'm pretty sure he heard me — they heard me."
Edwards was the only Timberwolf who earned the right to trash-talk the champions on Sunday, scoring 44 points in a 115-107 loss at Target Center. If the Wolves are to win this series, they'll need to support their lead vocalist with a choir.
