In Game 1 of the Western Conference semi-finals, the Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Golden State Warriors, despite a hamstring injury sidelining Steph Curry. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch called out young star Anthony Edwards for not meeting leadership expectations after finishing the game with 23 points, but only scoring one point at halftime. Finch stressed the importance of Edwards setting the tone and carrying energy, especially when not performing well. Edwards is seen as a future face of the NBA, making his performance crucial as the playoffs progress.
Finch is urging Edwards, stating, 'You're the leader of the team... set the tone. Youâve gotta come out and carry the energy even when your shot isnât falling.'
Despite his rough start, Edwards scored 23 points, showing potential for stardom. Finch emphasized, 'I'm confident he can bounce back for Game 2,' highlighting the pressure on the young all-star.
