Anthony Edwards’ performance in Game 1 of the West semis was not one he or the Minnesota Timberwolves expected. Edwards had an abysmal first half, but ultimately picked up in the second, although it wasn’t enough for the win.

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch suggested that superstar guard Anthony Edwards fell short in the leadership department during Tuesday's 99-88 loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.

Edwards wasn't the only Minnesota player to struggle against Golden State. But as the team's best player and leader, he has to be better.
