The Golden State Warriors made a major statement in Wednesday night's Game 1 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals. In a game that saw Warriors star Stephen Curry exit early due to a hamstring injury, they still stayed in control, winning 99-88.

After the Timberwolves dropped Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series with the Warriors, Minnesota coach Chris Finch challenged the performance of franchise star Anthony Edwards.

The Timberwolves got 23 points and 14 rebounds from their own superstar, shooting guard Anthony Edwards, but a poor first half doomed Minnesota in their hometown arena as Golden State jumped out to a 44-31 halftime lead. After the game, Edwards was debriefed on a horrifying statistic that caused his jaw to drop on press row in Minneapolis.
