The Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 121-110 in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs on the 15th, and advanced to the series 4-1, and the star "Ant-Man" Edwards scored 22 points and 12 assists in this game, accumulating 1,000 points in the career playoffs, becoming the sixth player in history to complete this milestone before the age of 24.
"Ant-Man" Edwards
The current 23-year-old Edwards led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference championship last season, but was eliminated by the Mavericks and missed the championship. They made a comeback this season, knocking out the third-seeded Lakers in the West in the first round of the NBA playoffs, and the series was won 4-1 against the Warriors.
Edwards averaged 26.2 points in the series and has also scored at least 30 points in two games, and today officially surpassed 1,000 points in his career playoff games, a milestone that only Kobe, James, Durant, Parker and Tatum have achieved before the age of 24.
