“We know they had their run last year, and they’re a new look with [Julius] Randle. But [Edwards is the] same man who’s trying to take strides with every opportunity he gets. I guess it’s gonna be a tough challenge” said Stephen Curry going into the Warriors-Timberwolves series. ‘Tough challenge’ certainly seemed to be the correct way to describe how the 23-year-old shaped his game, leading the Timberwolves through a 4-1 series by delivering efficient shots and securing top scores. It was a testament to how the young star always continues to deliver. For any fans who needed to be reminded of just how efficient Edwards really is in the postseason, Edwards did it for them by securing a historical feat.
According to reports, Edwards marked his 1,000th CAREER PLAYOFF POINT during Game 5 of the Warriors-Timberwolves series. The same occurred as less than 10 minutes remained in the 3rd quarter, and Minnesota led by 67-52. The young star made a 3-pointer, and the crowd at the Target Center briefly went wild. After all, with this feat, Edwards now joins Kevin Garnett as the only Minnesota Timberwolves player to score 1,000+ postseason points in franchise history. As if getting eliminated wasn’t enough, now the Warriors have to dread that their poor defense led to Edwards adding another record to his name.
