The Minnesota Timberwolves were held to just 31 first-half points in Tuesday night's Game 1 loss to the Golden State Warriors, a sluggish start that set the tone for a 99–88 loss to a Warriors squad that was without Steph Curry for much of the game.
At the center of those early struggles was Anthony Edwards, the typically explosive young Timberwovles guard who managed just one point before halftime of the game. He finished with a team-high 23 points but on an inefficient 9 of 22 from the field. He hit just 1 of 5 threes, as Minnesota struggled to a 5 of 29 performance as a team from beyond the arc.
