Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesAnthony Edwards' celebration following the Minnesota Timberwolves Game 3 victory over the Phoenix Suns seemed reasonable to Suns star Kevin Durant.
Edwards did the DX celebration following the 126-109 victory over Phoenix, which increased Minnesota's series lead to 3-0.

When asked about Edwards' celebration, Durant did not take issue with it, instead saying that Edwards and the Timberwolves had reign to do what they desired as a result of winning the game.
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguetKevin Durant was asked about Anthony Edwards celebration here. I agree with his response: "You win the game, do whatever you want." <a href="https://t.co/3KHNlg9CF2">https://t.co/3KHNlg9CF2</a> <a href="https://t.co/QBCntKT6xw">pic.twitter.com/QBCntKT6xw</a>
Edwards had 36 points, nine rebounds, five assists and two steals in the game. This led all scorers, and four of the five Timberwolves starters had at least 15 points, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Naz Reid had 16 and 13 points respectively off of the bench.
Durant had 25 points, five assists and four rebounds. Bradley Beal had 28 points and Devin Booker had 23 points but Eric Gordon was the only other player to score in double figures.
Phoenix has an incredibly difficult hole to crawl out of. No team in NBA history has come back from a 3-0 deficit, regardless of round.
Barring an unprecedented comeback, Edwards and the Timberwolves will likely have more opportunities to celebrate.
