The Minnesota Timberwolves earned the biggest postseason win in franchise history after defeating the Denver Nuggets by a whopping 45-point margin in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals. After the game, Anthony Edwards was having a moment in the press conference.

Asked what made the team issue this kind of response, Edwards was very straightforward. "We got Mike Conley back. That was it," he said.

The Timberwolves players were presented with a video of all their best plays in the first two games they won against the Nuggets in the series. Edwards says it was a huge morale boost.

"Guys just believe in themselves. The last three games, we were down on ourselves, just trying to point the finger, blame somebody. I think today before the game, the coaches, the whole staff, they did a great job of putting a clip together as far as the plays we made when we won the two games against these guys. And everybody started to believe after that little edit they put together," Edwards said. "I can tell the energy shifted after that little edit. That was big time. I told them that was a big time for them to edit it together."

There was a rumor going on that Edwards told one of the Nuggets staffers after Game 5 that the two teams were going to meet again in Game 7. The Minnesota superstar was as honest as it gets in answering the question.

"Hell yeah! They know, I was in there. I told them, 'I'll see y'all motherf*ers for Game 7.'"
