The All-Star guard finished with a team-high 23 points but went 9-for-22, including 1-for-5 from deep.

Still, his rough start, 0-for-8 in the first half, was one of the biggest reasons the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/minnesota-timberwolves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Timberwolves<\/a> had trouble keeping up with the Warriors. Ant-Man came alive in the third quarter with nine points, but his team faced an 80-60 deficit heading into the final frame.<\/p>\n<p>Edwards\u2019 surge continued in the last 12 minutes, where he delivered 13 points. The spike in output came too late as the Dubs pulled off the upset despite Steph Curry playing just 13 minutes because of a hamstring strain.<\/p>\n<p>The Game 1 performance from Edwards prompted fans to compare him to LeBron James\u2019 son and teammate, Bronny James.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>The Golden State Warriors&#8217; defense held Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves in check<\/h2>\n<p>After an elite defensive showing in the first round against the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors doubled down on that end in the semifinals. Following the exit of Steph Curry, the Dubs\u2019 defense displayed even more bite to contain Anthony Edwards and Co. Draymond Green anchored a defense that held Minnesota to 5-for-29 shooting from deep, the Timberwolves\u2019 worst in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota was particularly atrocious in the second quarter. They missed all eight shots from behind the arc and made just 3 of 18 attempts overall for 11 points. Edwards contributed one point, one assist and one turnover during that stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike in the first round, the Timberwolves could not find somebody to repeatedly target on defense. The undersized Warriors did not give an inch. Buddy Hield proved that his defensive showing against the Rockets was no fluke. He held up well when Minnesota wanted Edwards to attack him.<\/p>\n<p>If Anthony Edwards does not bounce back in Game 2 on Thursday, the Bronny James comparisons will only heat up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/574869-1717241309-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Michael Macasero&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nMichael Macasero brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his coverage of basketball at Sportskeeda with over 18 years of diverse work experience.
