Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch suggested that superstar guard Anthony Edwards fell short in the leadership department during Tuesday's 99-88 loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.

Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch called out Anthony Edwards for not playing with spirit and energy in Game 1 loss to the Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors had a wrench thrown in their plans of a deep playoff run on Tuesday when star Stephen Curry suffered a strained hamstring that will leave him sidelined for at least a week.

Jimmy Butler and Buddy Hield delivered in their own ways the both-ends-of-the-floor production necessary for Golden State to fend off Minnesota for a Game 1 victory after star Stephen Curry went down with a strained left hamstring early in the second quarter.

In his return to Minnesota to face the team he left under acrimonious circumstances, Jimmy Butler III scored 20 points while being booed every time he touched the ball. Kevon Looney came off the bench to provide a strong presence in the paint, and Buddy Hield added 18 points despite beginning the game with the wrong shorts.
