Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch suggested that superstar guard Anthony Edwards fell short in the leadership department during Tuesday's 99-88 loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.

The Golden State Warriors made a major statement in Wednesday night's Game 1 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals. In a game that saw Warriors star Stephen Curry exit early due to a hamstring injury, they still stayed in control, winning 99-88.

So I’ll point to this: Road teams have won nine of the last 13 NBA playoff Game 7s. Make it 10 of 14. Curry and the Dubs find a way to stay on the right side of their razor-thin margin for error and win Game 7 in Minneapolis, much to Alex Rodriguez’s chagrin. Warriors in 7.
