This series nearly became the Warriors without Stephen Curry against the Timberwolves without Anthony Edwards.

Many were shocked at Edwards' quick return to the court, considering how his ankle injury looked in real-time. Timberwolves star forward Julius Randle put it simply when asked about his return. “He’s Wolverine," Randle told ESPN after the game.

Anthony Edwards had 20 points, nine rebounds, five assists and three steals for a Minnesota team that never trailed. In fact, Minnesota jumped out to a 13-0 lead and even led by double digits for the final 40 minutes and 32 seconds of the game.
