Don’t tell Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards that his team has its back against the wall after two games of their series versus the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 Western Conference finals. The confidence is definitely still there in the former No. 1 overall pick, who remains in search of a breakout performance in the WCF.
Despite a 2-0 series deficit against the Mavericks after a painful 109-108 loss at home Friday night, Edwards expressed assurance that his team is going to be just fine amid the mounting pressure.

Minnesota wasted its home-court advantage in the first two games of the series versus the Mavs, with the Timberwolves tasting the same medicine they served the Denver Nuggets in the conference semifinals in which they won Games 1 and 2 of that series in Mile High City.
“We’ve been here before. I don’t think anyone in the locker room is panicking. … We’ll be alright,” Edwards told reporters in the locker room following the Timberwolves’ latest setback at the hands of Luka Doncic and the Mavericks.

For the Timberwolves to get it going again, they need Edwards to start playing like himself again. He is averaging 20.0 points in the Mavs series but has shot just 33.3 percent thus far. He was 5/17 in Game 1 and only 6/16 in Game 2.

It’s one thing for Edwards to exude confidence but it’s his production that is needed the most by the Timberwolves at the moment.
Game 3 of the Timberwolves vs. Mavericks series is set for Sunday in Dallas.
