This recognition brings with it a substantial financial reward, as both players are set to secure an additional $41 million on their next contracts.

Despite posting decent numbers of 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists, Edwards acknowledged his poor shooting at 6 for 16, underscoring his personal struggle during the game and the need for improvement.

After the loss, The ANT Man said,”I don’t know, I think we just came out flat today. We found our energy then we went back to being flat. I think it was just on us. Everything was on us today. I didn’t get downhill as much. Just stuff like that, we were probably just a little tired probably.”


In addition to his own performance challenges, Edwards's eagerness to face Kyrie Irving did not unfold as anticipated, as Irving's 30-point contribution impacted the game significantly. 

Irving, taking inspiration from Edwards's earlier comments, delivered a strong performance fueled by motivation, yet he commended Edwards for his competitive spirit and demonstrated respect towards him. 

Looking ahead to Game 2, Edwards recognized the critical role he must play as the team's top player and leader, aiming to elevate his game to guide the Timberwolves towards success in the series and potentially achieve a historic Finals berth for the franchise.
