As the Minnesota Timberwolves gear up for the NBA playoffs, star guard Anthony Edwards is looking to channel the energy of Timberwolves legend Kevin Garnett, who recently returned to Target Center for the first time in eight years. Edwards expressed that Garnett's presence was significant for the team, stating, 'He’s the greatest Timberwolf of all time.' The Timberwolves, who have reached the Western Conference finals in the past two years, are determined to overcome a lackluster regular season marked by defensive struggles, finishing eighth in the league in defensive rating after ranking first and sixth in previous seasons. Coach Chris Finch emphasized the need for the team to maintain focus and connection, noting, 'You don’t ever really want to be a flip-the-switch team, but we do have a switch to flip.' Edwards, who averaged 28.8 points per game this season, was limited to a career-low 61 games due to knee pain but has used the time to get back in shape. The Timberwolves will face the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs starting Saturday.
