Anthony Edwards has been nothing short of electric throughout the 2025 NBA Playoffs, and in Game 3 of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ second-round matchup against the Golden State Warriors, he delivered another jaw-dropping moment.
With just under two minutes left in the third quarter and the Warriors leading 67-62, Edwards took flight. He drove straight through the heart of the defense and exploded at the rim, throwing down a vicious poster dunk over veteran Kevon Looney—who’s on a $22.5 million contract, per Spotrac. The play instantly blew up online.
“This is the ANT we know holy sh*t,” one fan tweeted.
“Delete the footage man,” another wrote, echoing the collective disbelief across NBA Twitter.
Others chimed in with reactions ranging from “OMG ANT” to “THERE WE GO ANT!!” with some Warriors fans simply speechless—or salty.
Edwards Ignites Wolves’ Game 3 Victory
Edwards’ thunderous slam turned the tide and fired up the Timberwolves, who went on to secure a 102-97 road win at Chase Center. The victory gave Minnesota a 2-1 lead in the series and reclaimed homecourt advantage.
The All-Star guard finished the night with 36 points, four rebounds, and four assists. Julius Randle notched a triple-double—24 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists—while Jaden McDaniels contributed 15 points and six boards.
Confidence Drives the Ant-Man
After the game, Edwards was asked about his fearless mentality, especially in moments like his dunk over Looney. His response was classic Ant-Man:
“One thing I never lack is confidence. If I got that, I’ll be alright,” he told reporters.
That confidence has powered him through the playoffs. After leading Minnesota past the LA Lakers in the first round, Edwards continues to shine, now averaging 26.3 points and nine rebounds per game in the series against Golden State.
Game 3 wasn’t just another playoff win—it was a statement. And Edwards, with another unforgettable poster added to his growing highlight reel, is making it clear: he’s not backing down from anyone.
