“You know it,” Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards told Ja Morant’s father, Tee, after getting Morant ejected late in the fourth quarter of his his team’s 109-101 victory over Morant’s Memphis Grizzlies.
“I’m him.”
Edwards earned the right to talk his trash after leading the Timberwolves to a monster victory in their first game playing without Karl-Anthony Towns (right calf strain). The third-year guard saved his best for last and scored 17 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter after being held scoreless in the third.
Eight of those 17 came after Dillon Brooks poked the bear while the Wolves led by three at the 3:13 mark of the fourth.
