Edwards shined specifically for Minnesota. The 23-year-old finished with 30 points, four rebounds, five assists, and two steals on 11-for-21 shooting from the field. He also knocked down six three-pointers on 11 attempts.
While the Warriors managed to put up 110 points, the offense was a noticeable struggle. Jonathan Kuminga led the team with 23 points, but it wasn't enough.
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant reacted to Edwards' performance on X, formerly known as Twitter. The 25-year-old used an ant emoji to show how impressed he was with the Timberwolves' superstar.

Golden State now finds itself down 3-1 and in a must-win scenario headed back to Minnesota. The Warriors have struggled tremendously without Stephen Curry, who is out with a hamstring injury. He is set to be reevaluated on Wednesday and could make a return with the season on the line.
As for the Timberwolves, they're one win away from a second-straight Western Conference Finals appearance, after losing last year to the Dallas Mavericks. They would face the winner of the Denver Nuggets-Oklahoma City Thunder series, with that tied 2-2.
