Whatever Anthony Edwards and Mike Conley were doing on this weak side switch, they need to burn it…
Another example of Timberwolves having everyone where they want them, but porous off ball defense sends them needlessly scrambling
They never recovered pic.twitter.com/SoVBnO2UT1 – 11:26 PM

Dallas was down 2 with 5 minutes left, then scored 6 times on their last 9 possessions
Minnesota scored only 2 times on their last 9 possessions, and one of them was Anthony Edwards last layup after Dallas was already up 11 – 10:50 PM

Disappointed. Luka & Kyrie were better when it mattered most. Anthony Edwards isn’t great enough yet to elevate a team where Mike Conley & Kyle Anderson have his back most effectively, and his No. 2 no-shows. Everyone has games like KAT had, but it sucks when it’s on this stage. – 10:43 PM

I think Anthony Edwards really badly mismanaged this game.
He had so many moments where he had a good one-on-one matchup and called for the screen, allowing the blitz. He chose 4-on-3’s for teammates that weren’t getting it done instead of being as aggressive as he said he’d be. – 10:35 PM

Anthony Edwards with 6 straight points, including a monster dunk, and the Timberwolves have tied this game 77-77. He seemed to request this timeout to the bench after that spurt. – 9:49 PM

Too many dribbles for Anthony Edwards. Playing 1-on-1 with everyone else waiting for a pass to continue some sort of ball movement.
More off ball screens so he can catch-and-shoot or drive, more two dribble pull ups are needed.
Mavs defense deserves credit too. #NBAPlayoffs – 9:06 PM

The Wolves trail 33-28 after 1Q and the gap would be a lot larger if not for some strong minutes from Kyle Anderson to end the Q. Anthony Edwards vowed to be aggressive, and he has been: 9 pts on 3-for-6 shooting, 3-for-4 FTs, 3 ast, 2 reb, 1 to. Luka leads DAL w/ 8 pts. – 8:36 PM

Anthony Edwards looks shaky early. Overdribbling, not getting downhill, not shooting with any kind of confidence. – 8:11 PM

Sam Amick: Interesting stuff from Anthony Edwards at Wolves shoot-around here in Dallas this morning. I asked him if he thinks the experience gap is playing a part in this series. He does not. “Yeah, I don’t think it’s experience,” he said. “I think we just we dropped two – we gave them two games. At the end of the game, both games, we’re up like five with a minute left and we just give the game away. Turn it over. Missing layups. Just little things like that.” -via Twitter @sam_amick / May 26, 2024
Chris Hine: At shootaround today, Anthony Edwards said he needs to get back to having fun: “I probably been getting away from having fun out there. Just letting my misses and stuff get in my head. I just got to get back to having fun, playing with joy, with a smile on my face.” -via Twitter @ChristopherHine / May 26, 2024
