“We’ve got to be more aggressive, take what the defense gives us, but also impose our game on them,” said Anthony Edwards after the Game 1 loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This, along with the advice to himself to shoot more, was one advice the star player was looking to put out in order to not repeat what the Timberwolves did in Game 1. After all, you certainly need to make a statement after effortlessly defeating the Lakers and Timberwolves, but then losing in Game 1 to OKC by a 114-88 score, aka a 26-point margin. Unfortunately, Anthony Edwards and Co. failed to deliver for the second consecutive game time! Furthermore, judging from what Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said, Edwards has to be cautious for the next matchup, too.
In the aftermath of Game 2, the 2025 MVP participated in a Q&A session. During the same, when asked what will be the key to defeating the Timberwolves in Game 3, Shai said, “Yeah, we gotta do a better job on Ant. We gonna have a bunch of energy in the building. At home, some very good crowd over there, they’re gonna be into the game. We got to bring the fight early if we want to give us a chance”.
This is a developing story.
