NBA Reacts After Draymond Green Had Five Words for Anthony Edwards on Monday

The Golden State Warriors simply had no answer for Anthony Edwards on Monday night as the Minnesota Timberwolves secured a pivotal 117-110 victory in Game 4 of their second-round NBA playoffs series.

Edwards went off for 30 points on 11-of-21 shooting, to go along with four rebounds, five assists and two steals. The three-time All-Star also knocked down six triples on the evening as Minnesota took a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Warriors star Draymond Green was asked to share his thoughts on Edwards' performance after the game, which prompted some lofty praise from the former Defensive Player of the Year.

The NBA posted a video of Green's comments, emphasizing the Warriors veteran's five-word statement on Edwards.

"He is one of one," the NBA posted.

"Draymond Green praises Anthony Edwards after another superstar performance in Game 4 "

While Green went on to praise Edwards' game, the former Defensive Player of the Year also called out the Warriors for not doing a good enough job of covering Edwards. They are already well aware of how much of a threat the Wolves star is, and Green has reminded his teammates that the least they can do is to make life a little bit more difficult for Edwards.

Golden State will get an opportunity to do so on Wednesday when they face Edwards and Co. again in Game 5. The Warriors have no other choice but to try and do everything they can to hold Edwards down and prevent another offensive explosion from the 23-year-old guard.

Failing to do so could mean the end of the line for Green and the Warriors.
