What a difference a game makes. 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. The tone was much different in Sunday's Game 4.
First, Edwards, after assisting on a Julius Randle layup with 3:53 remaining in the second quarter, got right in James's face and started flexing at The King. On the ensuing defensive possession, Edwards got physical with James, who was attempting to gain position on the Timberwolves star in the post. Then, on the next defensive sequence, Edwards shoved James multiple times before he was whistled for a personal foul.
