NBA Reacts to Major Anthony Edwards News Before Game 4

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Chris Phelps | Last updated May 12, 2025 6:32 PM ET

After falling behind 0-1 in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves have taken control of the series, securing a 2-1 lead over the Golden State Warriors.

The Timberwolves certainly received a major advantage when Warriors star Steph Curry went down with a hamstring injury in Game 1, forcing him to miss potentially the remainder of the series.

On Monday night, the Timberwolves will look to take a 3-1 lead back to Minnesota, facing the Curry-less Warriors in Game 4.

Going into Game 3, Edwards had recorded 17 career postseason wins, tied with NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett for the most in Timberwolves history.

Edwards guided Minnesota to a 102-97 win in Game 3, recording 36 points on 13-of-28 shooting, four rebounds and four assists.

In doing so, Edwards has now passed Garnett to take sole possession of first place on the Timberwolves' all-time postseason wins list. What makes this even more impressive is that Edwards, in just his fifth NBA season, now accounts for half of Minnesota's total playoff wins (36).

The NBA revealed the news with a post on X.

Timberwolves role players Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels have also recorded 17 postseason wins with the team, now tied for second with Garnett. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Mike Conley are right behind them with 16 apiece.

Coming off a run to the Western Conference Finals in 2024, Edwards is looking to get the Timberwolves to their first NBA Finals in the franchise's 36-year history.

Following Game 4, the Timberwolves and Warriors will shift back up to Minnesota for Game 5 on Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. ET.
