Towards the end of the Minnesota Timberwolves' Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Edwards and LeBron James interacted like old friends, sharing a few words and a laugh with each other despite the pressurized playoff environment they were both a part of.

Edwards' current postseason run is reminiscent of his breakout performance in the playoffs last year, where he led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals. During that span, Minnesota swept Kevin Durant's Phoenix Suns and overcame Nikola Jokic's Denver Nuggets in a seven-game series, before falling to Doncic-led Dallas Mavericks.

Anthony Edwards had a Kobe Bryant-like performance in the fourth quarter of Game 4, and he got very physical with LeBron James.
