The fate of the Minnesota Timberwolves was out of Anthony Edwards's hands. The Denver Nuggets made sure of it, pressuring Minnesota's ascendant star with so many defenders that it was impossible for him to take over Game 7 in the way he would have liked. The story of Game 7—and of Minnesota's earth-shaking comeback win—is the story of Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert, and Naz Reid. It's those three centers who set the Wolves apart, and it's those three centers who made the most critical plays in the most important game in Timberwolves history.
