NBA legend beats Anthony Edwards after Warriors-Temberwolves Game 1

The Golden State Warriors made a big explanation against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday evening against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference semi -finals. In a game in which Warriors star Stephen Curry got out early due to a thigh injury, they still remained in control and won 99-88.

It was a hard night for the Timberwolves who couldn't get it going in the first half. Minnesota only scored 11 points in the first quarter, which stood in a hole for the rest of the game.

For Anthony Edwards, it was particularly a rough first half that only had one point during the break. He ended with 23 points and 14 rebounds, but this at 9-of-22 shooting, which was too little and too late for a comeback.

NBA legend and NBA on TNT Analyst Charles Barkley had a loud criticism for Edwards after the game and emphasized his one-point performance. Barkley particularly pointed out Edwards's reputation to attract confrontation in the entire league, especially in the post -season.

“But I was really impressed by the coach [Chris] Finch in the press conference, “said Barkley.” He called Anthony. First of all, they bought all the smoke. You said you wanted the smoke … 'I want the warriors' and you have it. They had one point at halftime and its energy level had dropped. For me that is what coaching is about. “

The warriors were in full control even without a curry. They received massive services from Buddy Hield, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, which were combined for 62 points, 27 rebounds and 17 assists. The offensive was still efficient without the best player of Golden State, which means that Minnesota has to react in a large way in game 2.
