Game Seven might have been Anthony Edwards' coronation. Denver's defense slowed him and forced him to get others involved early, but they were still able to come back. He didn't have his best game, but finished with 16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals.

ANT is undoubtedly the alpha dog on this squad. If Minnesota goes on to win the title and he plays as you'd expect, he's most likely to be awared Finals MVP and it might signal a changing of the guard in next year's League MVP discussions.


Back to the game: I thought Jokic was gassed late. In hindsight, Malone probably rests him more. Might be stating the obvious, but I also thought the Nuggets' execution wasn't the best late.
