Anthony Edwards has been a light that shines throughout the Minnesota Timberwolves series, but he has some things to tackle.
Following the Minnesota Timberwolves series’ victory over the La Lakers, Anthony Edwards raised the victory and taunted rival fans.
But the superstar also showed serious sides, speaking in honor of his beaten opponent, LeBron James, at the post-match meeting.
Edwards was also humbled enough to embrace his own performance in Game 5.
With a maximum of 43 in Game 4, Edwards could be allowed a bit of a dip after he became the youngest player to hit three 100 careers. He fired 0-11 from outside the arc. Overall, it was 5-19 from the field.
Rudy Gobert’s 27 points and Julius Randle’s 23 carried the Timberwolves to score the victory, but Edwards averaged an impressive 26.8 ppg throughout the series.
Anthony Edwards took the time to talk about his desire to study film, especially after poor individual performances.
Edwards explained that he is more willing to bring his game back, as he believes he can learn more about his game when he doesn’t play well.
He said: “I think it’s about watching movies, you can now embrace the bad stuff.
“Most people just want to see it when it’s good. When I play bad, like tonight, I want to see the game, like how I can play better.
“It’s a perspective that helps me change as long as I’m playing making and looking at the floor. I want to see what I can do better.”
The Timberwolves star scored 25 points in the second game of the series, but only shot 3-2-8 and knew he had to be more efficient.
“That’s what we did after Game 2. My trainers, four in the morning called, ‘I’m looking at things.’
“It really helped me, gave me energy and tumbled.”
Edwards’ performance at Minnesota’s home game was particularly effective, helping his team get a 3-1 lead before winning the series in LA.
His commitment to improvement identifies his elite mentality. It helped him to reach high levels early in his career. It’s also a scary factor for the rest of the league.
Anthony Edwards is grateful to the people around him. He recently praised his teammate Donte Divinsenzo for helping him read his game.
He believes that the entire team’s core shares a commitment to improvement, supported by smart coaching staff.
“We are comfortable getting better, there are things I am not the best, and I am really good at.
“Play with my strengths and don’t go to my weaknesses. Finch does an amazing job of keeping me away from them.”
