Karl-Anthony Towns (7/22) and Anthony Edwards (4/14) are a combined 11/36 from 2-point range thus far in this series. Asked Chris Finch what is leading to their ineffectiveness within the arc:
“I think with Anthony, he’s gotta pick up his decision-making. I think Kyrie is – 12:26 AM

Let’s be clear: Anthony Edwards himself denounced the Michael Jordan comparisons. If you’re holding him to that standard now, while he’s struggling, you’re doing it because you have an axe to grind with overzealous media members. Don’t tear down an awesome young player for that. – 11:36 PM

Minnesota last 3 possessions:
– Jaden McDaniels incorrect non-call overturned challenge turnover (up 2)
– Anthony Edwards locked up, throws ball away (up 2)
– Naz Reid miss buzzer beater from Ant (down 1)
This after failing to score on 5 straight possessions late in Game 1. – 11:21 PM

Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns are shooting a combined 30.4% in the West Finals. 21 makes. 69 attempts. Not gonna win with your two best offensive players putting up these stinkers. – 11:15 PM

Minnesota’s offensive success has come from working Dallas’ stars off the ball and driving gaps. It hasn’t come from Anthony Edwards being on ball. – 10:49 PM

During the time Anthony Edwards was checked out of the game from 7:53 to 5:31 remaining in the 4th Q, the Wolves guard put on a face mask to receive oxygen in the tunnel by the Minnesota bench. – 10:45 PM

Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns have been awful. Obviously won’t be a game (or series) unless they show up. – 10:30 PM

Anthony Edwards is working on a pretty bad last 2 1/2 quarters. Better pick it up pretty soon. – 10:29 PM

Anthony Edwards missed a point blank layup and Mavericks score 8 straight. They have their first lead since it was 7-6. – 10:28 PM

Anthony Edwards has been more intentional about attacking the rim early, Dallas’ rim protection be damned. He’s got 5 points (3 at the FT line) It’s 21-17 Wolves as Dallas calls timeout. – 8:51 PM

If the Wolves want to conserve some energy for Anthony Edwards, they probably have to find ways to decrease the number of possessions he’s guarding Kyrie Irving.
One simple way to do that would be giving Nickeil Alexander-Walker more possessions on Irving. In Game 1, there were pic.twitter.com/bqyjkiJzpt – 1:19 PM

No issues with Anthony Edwards saying Kyrie Irving was his matchup going into Game 1.
Easy to say don’t talk after Irving’s 24 in 1st half, but T-Wolves were right there, just lost.
It’s a series, not one game.
Interested to see how Edwards, T-Wolves adjust Game 2 #NBAPlayoffs – 7:07 AM
