Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards challenged to 'set the tone' by Chris Finch after Game 1 loss to Warriors
- On May 6, 2025, the Minnesota Timberwolves fell to the Golden State Warriors 99-88 in the opening matchup of the Western Conference semifinals.
- The loss followed a poor offensive start led by star guard Anthony Edwards, who missed his first 10 shots and scored only 1 point in the first half.
- Coach Chris Finch criticized Edwards by saying, "It starts with Anthony," noting he "struggled early" and "you've got to come out and set the tone."
- Edwards scored 23 points on 9 of 22 attempts, grabbed 14 rebounds, and contributed two assists, but his inconsistent play led fans and analysts to call for an end to the high expectations and comparisons surrounding him.
- The Timberwolves will require Edwards to improve in Game 2 to boost their offense and maintain competitiveness in the series against the Warriors.
