On Sunday evening, the Minnesota Timberwolves will play the Dallas Mavericks (in Texas) for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Before the game, Anthony Edwards met with the media and one of his quotes is getting a lot of attention (h/t ESPN's Dave McMenamin).

Edwards: "Ya'll gonna see tonight. It's going to be a lot of shots. I'm going to be super aggressive. I haven't took more than 16 shots in each game."
