Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards made some strange antics during Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks.
Edwards is on the microphone before the game and was heard complimenting opposing guard Kyrie Irving and even barking for the basketball — literally.
At one point in the game, Edwards attempted an acrobatic layup after being fouled and watched as he fell in.
While walking past Irving, the Timberwolves guard gave his opponent props, saying, “I got that from you, dawg,” and gave him a low five.
Later, Edwards was literally heard barking for a loose ball as he imitated a dog in a tangle of bodies fighting over the rock.

Edwards and the Timberwolves fought to stay alive during the Western Conference Finals
It all took place in a do-or-die Game 4 that the Timberwolves had to win to stay alive in the battle for a spot in the NBA Finals.
Minnesota lost the first three games of the Western Conference Finals – despite two close games at home.
Games 1 and 2 were close contests, but both games played in Minnesota ended in losses for the Timberwolves.
Luka Doncic finished strong in Game 1, leading Dallas to a 108-105 win.
Two nights later, Doncic dominated again with a step back triple late, sealing a 109-108 victory.
Unlike the games in Minnesota, the last game in Dallas was much more one-sided, with Doncic and Irving both dropping 33 points as the Mavericks won 116-107.
