On Tuesday, the Wolves couldn't capitalize against a Warriors team that saw Stephen Curry exit the first half with a hamstring strain. The Timberwolves shot 5-for-29 from beyond the arc, and with every failure to convert, came more opportunities for the Curry-less Warriors to build a lead they never relinquished in a 99-88 Game 1 win.

Edwards wasn't the only Minnesota player to struggle against Golden State. But as the team's best player and leader, he has to be better.

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.
