Naz Reid is always my barometer when Anthony Edwards goes down as to how serious it is. Naz said again he knew Ant would be OK. “I’ve seen this movie 80 times,” he said with a laugh. – 11:49 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Including playoffs, tonight was the 732nd game of Julius Randle’s NBA career
Game 2 vs Warriors was only the 4th time that Randle had at least 10 FGs made and 10 assists each
And the first time he did it in a game that did not require overtime. pic.x.com/y38e6B3cxk11:09 PM

I did not have Michael Irvin kissing Anthony Edwards on the cheek on my NBA playoffs Bingo card for tonight, but there you have it. – 11:06 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
First time ever that Julius Randle has reached double-digit assists in a playoff game
And Randle only had one 10-assist game all regular season – 10:30 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
After that horrid opening to the quarter, Wolves got back on track when Kerr went to his bench. 85-65 after three. Randle has 20-6-10, McDaniels with 16 while NAW is back on track with 13 points. Wolves are 13-for-30 from three-point range. – 10:27 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
And just that quick, the Wolves answer and now lead by 20. Julius Randle has been a grown man tonight with 20-10-6 – 10:26 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Weird energy from the starters to open the 3rd, and the Warriors cut it to 12. Finch about to pull Randle for a turnover and then not getting back on defense before a Kuminga layup. – 10:05 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Anthony Edwards has emerged for the second half. Crowd recognized it. – 9:51 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Anthony Edwards questionable with a 17-point halftime lead = play defense, tell Julius Randle to not lose his damn mind, and get Terrence Shannon Jr. in the game
Ant shouldn’t be needed to finish this game – 9:42 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
The Wolves lead 56-39 at the half. We have to see how Anthony Edwards’ left ankle impacts the rest of the night. – 9:42 PM
Adam Wexler @AdamJWexler

Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Anthony Edwards couldn’t put any weight on a leg and had to be helped off to the locker room. Draymond Green came out to see if Edwards was OK and stayed there until Edwards was helped up, grimacing in pain. – 9:28 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Anthony Edwards to the locker room. Not putting much weight on his left ankle. – 9:28 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Anthony Edwards is down the floor clutching his left ankle. He had it iced in the locker room after Game 1. – 9:26 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Anthony Edwards is down, grabbing above his left ankle. Wolves call timeout. – 9:26 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Anthony Edwards is getting oxygen in the back during the quarter break. He did the same thing last year during the playoffs, maximizing his time off the court to get refreshed – 9:08 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Julius Randle: “I can’t come come away from this game playing 30 minutes and have three rebounds, so I got to play better.” – 1:17 AM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill

Injury leads to revelation for Julius Randle and the surging Minnesota #Timberwolves. Veteran forward was criticized after trade from New York #Knicks, but evaluated what Timberwolves needed during time off and then took off. bit.ly/43gTFXL #nba #NBAPlayoffs – 2:13 PM

Jon Krawczynski: Mission accomplished. Wolves even the series heading back to the Bay. But if they hoped to send a message that the Warriors have no chance without Steph, I don’t think that happened. Jaden McDaniels: 16p, 7-10, superb defense Julius Randle: 24p, 11a, 7r NAW: 18p 4-6 3s -via x.com / May 8, 2025
