There was a lot of belief that Wolves could go to the Etihad on Friday and get a win. I listened to Pep Guardiola speak the day before the game in his press conference and he was full of admiration for Vitor Pereira, a lot of the Wolves players and how they play, how efficient they are and how much they could hurt the opposition.

Anthony Edwards overcame a scary-looking ankle injury in the second quarter and scored 13 of his 20 points after halftime to lead the Wolves to a Game 2 victory.

Edwards wasn't the only Minnesota player to struggle against Golden State. But as the team's best player and leader, he has to be better.
