Wolves' Anthony Edwards vows to take 'lot of shots' in Game 3 - ESPN

DALLAS — Anthony Edwards has a plan for what the Minnesota Timberwolves need to do to get back in the Western Conference finals in Game 3 against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night:

Namely, more Anthony Edwards.

«Y'all are going to see it tonight, it's going to be a lot of shots,» Edwards said after the Wolves' shootaround Sunday morning.

Edwards has averaged 20 points on a combined 11-for-33 shooting (33.3%) in the series thus far as Minnesota lost the first two games at home.

«I'm going to be super aggressive,» Edwards said. «I haven't taken more than 16 shots in each game. So I'm going to be ultra-aggressive coming out, for sure.»

The 22-year-old shooting guard averaged 27.7 points on 20.3 shot attempts over seven games in the Wolves' second-round series victory over the Denver Nuggets.

Edwards had a costly turnover in Game 2 vs. Dallas, throwing it out of bounds after driving into the lane and picking up his dribble near the free throw line when Mavs rookie center Dereck Lively II picked him up. He pivoted three times and then threw an errant pass to the wing, out of the reach of Naz Reid, sailing it into the courtside seats.

He said that looking to score in that situation would have prevented the turnover.

«I should've just shot the f---ing first shot,» Edwards said. «It's just that simple.»

The ever-confident Edwards said his team isn't discouraged by the predicament it faces, going on the road for Games 3 and 4 down 2-0.

«It didn't do nothing but add fuel to the fire for Game 3,» Edwards said. «I think all my teammates ready to go, it's fun.… I think we're in a pretty good mood. Everybody's smiling and joking. We know we're a good team. We know it's not over. I don't think anybody's worried. Just know we got to
