Anthony Edwards knows Minnesota Timberwolves has a chance to progress to the Western Conference finals on Wednesday night.

Edwards also knows that it is dangerous to buy anything.

“You can’t be comfortable, Ed Edwards said. “You can’t be comfortable in the NBA – especially in playoffs.”

Minnesota will try to close its series against Golden State Warriors in the 5th game of the Western Conference semi -finals in Minneapolis. Timberwolves has 3-1 aside in his seven best series and hopes to avoid a return journey to West Coast for Game 6.

Warriors won the serial opener, but Stephen Curry has not been the same since he left the game due to Hamstring injury. Curry will miss his fourth match on Wednesday in a row.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr, Curry’s absence was difficult in the team. A few players competed in the second year, including guard Brandin Podziemski and senior advanced Draymond Green.

Kerr, “Serial Steph has changed with the injury, so everyone’s shooting will be more difficult.” He said. “Steph is a man who broke the defense for us and creates this aggressive flow. I think the result is that the shootings are more difficult for each man.”

Jimmy Butler leads Warriors with 21 points per game in a 44.1 percent shot in the series, but he also encountered difficulties in finding an open space on the field.

“Ideally, we can shoot more around to open the floor a little.” He said. “But when Steph is out, we can’t do as much as that. However, we’ll look at the tape and see that we can find some openings for him and I will know that it will be aggressive for 5 games.”

Timberwolves also emphasized the importance of being aggressive on Wednesday. This starts with Edwards, the highest scorer with an average scorer and Julius Randle with an average of 24.3 points.

Randle said that everyone in Timberwolves understood what is in danger while trying to move forward to the conference finals for the second flat season. Minnesota followed two points between the circuit in the game 4 and Edwards challenged his teammates to play harder in the second half.

“We didn’t get the opportunity we had a slightly,” Randle said. He continued: “We had a chance to rise 3-1 in their homes. We have the chance to close our court in 5th game. We should take advantage of these moments.”

Edwards attracted the attention of warriors to the defense and received praise from Kerr and others, but Timberwolves said he was at the summit of progress because of each player’s contributions.

“These guys are like my brothers, Ed Edwards said from his teammates. “It’s not like seeing what they compete and produce high levels, because it makes everyone happy.

“I can’t wait to come here and praise them every time, I have every chance. Because I know that everyone wants to give me the loan, but I can’t do it without these men. They are MVP every night, every night.”
