The Denver Nuggets evened up the series against the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road on Sunday night, a series in which the home team has yet to come away victorious. In the immediate aftermath of Game 4, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards and Nuggets star Jamal Murray could be seen exchanging some words before going their separate ways.

Edwards was asked about the postgame exchange, and he explained to reporters what was said between him and Murray.

"I just told his ass, 'we love that, keep talking that, that's what we like.' At least, I love it," said Edwards. "He didn't say nothing back, but I'm pretty sure he heard me. They heard me. We live for that."
