The series started so promisingly for Minnesota, winning the first two games in Denver, including a victory in Game 2 in which the T-Wolves gave up just 80 points despite missing the Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert. But then the Nuggets won the first two games in Minneapolis to tie the series, and a dominant win in Game 5 made it three victories in a row for Denver, forcing the T-Wolves into a must-win game on Thursday.

But it wasn’t surprising to see Edwards come out with his hair on fire and ensure that his team’s season wouldn’t end that night. Edwards’s relentless confidence—and his ability to back up that confidence with his play—has been one of the most memorable parts of these playoffs. And Thursday was no different.
