The Timberwolves head coach spoke highly of the two superstars battling in the best-of-seven conference semifinals.
Not too long from now basketball fans may be recalling the 2024 playoff series that pitted the two best players in the world against each other: Nikola Jokic and Anthony Edwards .
"Yeah, I would say he's pretty much right now," Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said when asked Monday morning if Edwards is playing at a level as high as anyone Finch has coached in his life."He's playing certainly at the highest level he's ever played." "When they're committing that much attention we pretty much know what we're going to get and he's just kind of orchestrating. That was always going to be one of the final steps in his growth, Finch said."For him to sustain it at this level, with the stakes right now, it's really high-level basketball."
"These guys, they're not going to be rattled," Finch said of the Nuggets, who trail the best-of-seven series 0-1."They still have the best player in the world, in my estimation. When the ball is in hand everything slows down and everyone's playing at the pace that he wants. He's creating for himself and others, but they're just going to wear you down."
