During pregame shoot-around Edwards was given an ear piece and microphone to chat with the NBA on TNT hosts, including ex-Timberwolves guard Jamal Crawford. It's unclear what went wrong – maybe the audio was cutting in and out – but it was awkward.

Adam Lefkoe: "I don't think we do."
Edwards: "Yep, I'm here."
