Anthony Edwards reflects on the Minnesota Timberwolves’ recent success after he called out his teammates in a postgame press conference. The Timberwolves secured a commanding 107-90 victory against the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, with Edwards showcasing his talent by scoring 30 points and dishing out nine assists.
Stephen Curry made his return to the Warriors after resting during a previous win against the Houston Rockets due to knee soreness, contributing 23 points to the game. Despite Curry’s efforts, which included a pivotal three-pointer that narrowed the gap to 80-77 in the fourth quarter, the Warriors struggled with turnovers and could not make crucial defensive stops.
Rudy Gobert also made a significant impact, registering 17 points and 11 rebounds. The Timberwolves, who have now won five consecutive matchups against the Warriors and four straight games at Chase Center, maintained control of the game by leading 56-46 at halftime, thanks to a strong rebounding performance.
Draymond Green returned to the court after sitting out the previous game and contributed 10 points, nine rebounds, and six assists. However, his night was marred by receiving his seventh technical foul of the season. The Warriors faced additional challenges as both Moses Moody (left knee soreness) and Andrew Wiggins (right ankle issues) were sidelined late in the game.
Key moments included a crucial play where Gary Payton II’s layup attempt was overturned by the Timberwolves’ challenge, stopping a potential momentum shift late in the third quarter.
As the Timberwolves prepare for a rematch against the Warriors on Sunday, they look to continue their successful run in the series. This victory reinforces their resilience and ability to compete at a high level, promising an exciting matchup ahead.
The ongoing success of the Timberwolves, coupled with Edwards’ leadership and performance, bodes well for their future games and overall team chemistry. There is a positive outlook for the Timberwolves as they strive to build on this momentum during the weekend series.
