Anthony Edwards reacts to Jaylen Brown’s savage gesture
Jailen Brown guess the pose. Anthony Edwards got the last word. Early in Minnesota Timberwolves‘ 119-115 victory over Boston Celtics on saturday, jalen brown took a tough loss on anthony edwards, then hit him with a “too little” gesture while returning to the defense. Brown torched Minnesota for 19 points in the first quarter and 27 by halftime, setting the tone for a full-on duel with Edwards.
Anthony Edwards on the fight against Jaylen Brown:
“He hit me hard one time and he kind of told me I was too small… That’s my boyfriend, I was talking trash to him the whole game. But he kind of woke me up after he told me I was too small.”pic.twitter.com/cCgihlSIP2

Anthony Edwards ended up changing the script. The Minnesota Timberwolves star finished with 39 points on 12-of-24 shooting, including 5-of-11 from deep and 10-of-11 at the line, adding two rebounds and five assists. Jaylen Brown responded with 41 points, seven assists, six rebounds and five steals on 17-of-32 shooting via ESPN Box Score, but Boston couldn’t finish.
That first-quarter taunt stayed with Edwards. he said after the game that Brown’s bank shot “may have been the luckiest shot ever,” and that Brown shot back by telling him it was “hard work” and not luck, via Jon Krawczynski of the Athletics. Edwards joked that he needs to find someone who actually practices elbow strikes.
The back and forth never stopped. The Boston Celtics led 69-59 at halftime behind Brown’s shooting and Neemias Cueta’s bullying inside. Cueta piled up 19 points and 18 rebounds on 7-of-8 shooting as Boston dominated the glass early.
Then Anthony Edwards really woke up. He poured in 14 points in the fourth quarter, pulled the Browns to task down the stretch and still had enough left to bury an off-balance, 3-pointer in the final minute. That shot made it a two-possession lead and sent the Target Center into chaos.
