Playing as a team, that was the message as Anthony Edwards scored 36 points and rallied the Minnesota Timberwolves for a 102-97 win over the Golden State Warriors on May 10 to seize the lead in their National Basketball Association (NBA) play-off series.
SAN FRANCISCO - Playing as a team, that was the message as Anthony Edwards scored 36 points and rallied the Minnesota Timberwolves for a 102-97 win over the Golden State Warriors on May 10 to seize the lead in their National Basketball Association (NBA) play-off series.
The Warriors, missing star guard Stephen Curry with a left hamstring strain, dominated defensively before the Timberwolves battled back in the fourth quarter behind Edwards and Julius Randle, who had a triple-double with 24 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
Asked about how they staged a comeback, Edwards simply said: "Playing as a team, getting stops on the defensive end and limiting those guys to one shot."
With the victory, Minnesota took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference semi-final series with Game 4 on May 12 in San Francisco.
