"If I'd have had all of my legs, he would have been dunked on." 😭 Anthony Edwards feelin' confident after beating the S Video

What happened: Anthony Edwards told reporters after Minnesota's Game 4 win over San Antonio that a missed dunk attempt on Victor Wembanyama would have finished if his legs were fully healthy. "If I'd have had all of my legs, he would have been dunked on," Edwards said, per SportsCenter. The Timberwolves evened the series with the win.

Why it matters: The quote lands a day after Wembanyama's flagrant foul drew Kendrick Perkins' on-air rebuke, keeping the chippy series in the headlines. Edwards' confidence matters because Minnesota needed his fourth-quarter scoring surge to tie the series, and any lingering leg issue is a swing factor for the rest of the round. Edwards has now leaned on the leg explanation in multiple postgame settings, signaling the storyline is sticking.

What to watch: Watch Edwards' availability and burst in Game 5 for any sign the legs are still a factor. A rematch poster attempt at Wembanyama would be the headline moment if Minnesota gets another transition look.
