Anthony Edwards missed free throws blamed for Wolves’ OKC loss

Anthony Edwards is a sleeper MVP candidate and has the dunk of the year. Also, Ant has led Minnesota to the second-best record in the NBA. This is only the second time in the Timberwolves’ franchise history that they’ve held this distinction. With all of that being said, the Oklahoma City Thunder are coming. The core of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, alongside Chet Holmgren, is building something special. Equally, they feel this is their year, like Minnesota. When they played, OKC applied pressure, as Ant blew free throws.

Anthony Edwards confidently said he will go down in history as the best player of all-time. Already, he is emerging as one of the Timberwolves’ best players of all-time. Recognizing his talent, the Wolves put playoff ready pieces around him. When he arrived, Karl-Anthony Towns was already on the team. In 2022, the Wolves traded for Rudy Gobert. Initially, the move was heavily criticized. Now, Minnesota is being praised for the move.

Anthony Edwards has two rim protectors, who allow him to get out and run. As a result, Edwards is able to get out there and score the basketball. Last season, that was good for 42 wins, a play-in victory, which got them to the playoffs. They lost to Jokic’s Nuggets, the eventual champions. This year, they’ve played like the champions. As a result, they hold the West’s best record. Tonight, they lost a pivotal game against a Thunder team on their heels. Late, Ant missed clutch free throws and fans are blaming him.
