Although Edwards struggled to score in the first half, finishing with just 8 points, he turned up his performance in the second half, scoring 28 of his 36 points. Coach Chris Finch praised Edwards for his aggression and ability to draw defenders.
The Wolves adjusted their strategy, allowing Edwards to play off the ball more frequently, which he felt was beneficial against GSA’s defensive scheme.
Additionally, Randle’s playmaking in the second half was instrumental, as he assisted Edwards on several baskets. He totaled six assists alone in the half and finished with 12 assists overall.

Kendrick Perkins Makes Bold Anthony Edwards Prediction
The Timberwolves are in an exciting position right now and have a real shot at winning the NBA Championship.
After pulling off a nail-biting victory against the Warriors, they’ve taken a 2-1 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series. With Anthony Edwards going off for 36 points and Julius Randle grabbing a triple-double, it’s no wonder fans are feeling hopeful.
Things are looking even better for the Timberwolves with the news that Steph Curry might miss Game 4. That could allow Minnesota to seize control of the series and push for its second consecutive trip to the Western Conference Finals.
ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins is excited about their chances, too.
“Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards playing the way that they’re playing right now as a duo, not only are they going to win this series, but they have a legit chance at going to the NBA Finals,” Perkins said.
