Anthony Edwards didn’t hold back on the refs after the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 107-101 on Monday night.
Edwards called out the refs twice in quick succession postgame. On the first occasion, he screamed, “cheating ass refs” while celebrating the win with his teammates.
“Cheating a** refs”

He then doubled down during his postgame interview.
“Imma take the fine because the refs did not give us no calls tonight,” Edwards said on Bally Sports.

Edwards was especially infuriated over a no-call on a drive to the rim late in the game.
He ultimately had the last laugh, finishing with 27 points, four rebounds, four assists and the win.
The victory moved Minnesota half a game clear on top of the Western Conference.
The Wolves and Thunder were tied for the No. 1 seed before Monday’s game.
