“They call it however they call it,” Reid said. “We just try to put our heads down, be physical, attack the rim at a high level, all that good stuff. So, I don’t really know if we’re too keyed in on that. [The officials] might be, I don’t know. For me, I just play the game.”
This time last year, the Wolves had just two days to transition from the emotions of the largest comeback (20 points) in Game 7 history at Denver to their conference finals opener, a home loss to Dallas.
Now they will have had five days between closing out Golden State at Target Center and playing Game 1 of the conference finals on the road.
Wolves star Anthony Edwards said the Wolves have used that time to get game repetitions in during practice to stay sharp after such a long rest.
“That’s the only way, getting up and down,” he said. “So, we’ll be ready for Game 1.”
Edwards said this time around feels different than a year ago.
