After the game, Edwards spoke about Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic (h/t Dane Moore of Blue Wire).

Edwards: "I watch a lot of Luka. Seeing how he attack the double-team. Even though we play at different paces, just seeing his strategy to beat the double-team. I think that helps me a lot."

Asked Anthony Edwards about his growth against double teams over the last few months -- after previously being frustrated about those types of coverages.

He said he's watched a lot of Luka Doncic film, and learned from that. https://t.co/lF58jWRhFL pic.twitter.com/3a929ElOAZ

Considering Edwards and Doncic are two of the best young superstars in the Western Conference, it's no surprise that the quote got a lot of attention on social media.

@mulaneysvoice: "I said this throughout the playoffs last year. The difference between the way he handled double teams and Luka was night and day! He watched the right film"

@isaacsharrison: "ANT and Luka would be an insane duo"

@AuSaiz: "It's funny he said that because he has become my second favorite player behind luka doncic over the last two months. I knew I was familiar with that game lol"
