For the second straight NBA Playoffs series, the Minnesota Timberwolves have sent a powerful message, and Anthony Edwards is at the forefront. This time, he didn’t need an extensive speech to express his confidence. Following the Timberwolves’ impressive 121-110 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 5, sealing their place in the Western Conference Finals, Edwards let his Instagram do the talking with a cool, succinct caption: “Ain done nun c’mon.”
That post, shared just hours after the game, encapsulated the mindset of this young superstar. Edwards notched 22 points and matched a career-high with 12 assists in what turned out to be a decisive game in the series. Yet it was his postgame attitude that truly resonated with fans, igniting a flurry of support in the comments.
Commenters echoed the same bold spirit Edwards displayed throughout the game. One enthusiastic fan captured the essence perfectly: “He said what he said,” remarked @sprite, perfectly summing up the sentiment felt by many. Edwards is clearly letting his performance on the court speak volumes.
Even some Warriors fans acknowledged the impressive display from the 23-year-old, emphasizing his rising talent. One fan expressed admiration, stating, “Love you Ant, you’re my fav after Steph. I still think we would have smoked you if he was healthy, but now that you beat us, go and win it all!” It’s this level of respect that speaks to Edwards’ impact on the game, regardless of the competition.
The series shifted dramatically after Golden State’s initial Game 1 victory. Once the Warriors lost Stephen Curry to a left hamstring injury, they found themselves outmatched, losing four straight games to a Timberwolves squad that brought relentless depth and determination.
In Game 5, the Timberwolves showcased their well-rounded offensive attack, with six players scoring in double figures. Julius Randle led the charge with an impressive 29 points, while Ant-Man played a complete game, and Mike Conley contributed significantly with 16 points, eight assists, and six rebounds.
With this being the second consecutive series concluded in just five games—first against the Los Angeles Lakers and now the Warriors—the Timberwolves are sending an unmistakable signal: they’re not just satisfied to be here; they’re hungry for more.
As the NBA Playoffs continue, Anthony Edwards is firmly establishing himself as a breakout star. With his combination of electrifying play and unshakable confidence, he is ensuring that all eyes remain on him as he and the Timberwolves aim for greater heights.
