The Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors just completed a two-game regular season mini series that was split 1-1. Both games were played at Chase Center in San Francisco, with Minnesota winning on Friday and Golden State winning on Sunday.
Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards did not speak with reporters after Sunday’s loss, as he was disciplined by the league for his media availability session following Friday’s win.
Via Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune: “Anthony Edwards declined to talk tonight, citing fines he’s received form cursing in postgame interviews, but he did talk loud enough for the recorders/cameras to pick it up while Julius Randle spoke. Said, among other things that it was ‘terrible by me’ tonight.”
