On Tuesday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 114-88 in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

Many people reacted to his performance on social media.
@big_business_: “Anthony Edwards only shooting 1 field goal in the 4th quarter is unacceptable”
@CigarCurry: “Please stop putting Anthony Edwards name in the same breath as SGAs. Its never been close”
Skip Bayless: “Julius Randle scares me more than Anthony Edwards.”
@joelvmoran: “I’m so impressed with the way Anthony Edwards is dissecting this OKC defense
Not forcing the issue and being patient with his offense”
Nate Jones: “Not to sound like a broken record, but Ant’s pull up deep ball is the foundation of him going from a really good player to a guy that can take his team all the way to the title. If you have to play up on a guy with his driving ability 30 ft out…”
@justintaylor7: “They were calling Anthony Edwards the face of the league, but he’s looking like a 2 round player still.”
@TheHateCentral: “Anthony Edwards in Game 1:
18 Points (0 in 4th)
5-13 FG
5-7 FT
4 Turnovers
CANTMAN, BRICKMAN, GHOSTMAN…THUNDER IN 5″
Game 2 of the series will be on Thursday night (also in Oklahoma City).
