Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle combined for 61 points in Game 4 to lead the Timberwolves to a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Warriors.

The Timberwolves now have a 2-1 lead after pulling out a clutch win on the road against the Warriors. Anthony Edwards turned it on in the second half, scoring 28 of his 36 points in the last two frames, while Julius Randle was a steady force throughout the game, racking up 24 points of his own.

Green hasn't shied away from speaking his mind, but his brief response might indicate that he's more focused on trying to lead Golden State past Minnesota, especially without the 37-year-old Curry. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said they will give an update on the two-time MVP's status for Game 5 on game day.

Finally, addressing the clip on his podcast, Draymond responded in the following manner.

Anthony Edwards had a change of plans years ago when he prophesied his desire to destroy the Golden State Warriors in a playoff series. Draymond Green has done despicable things on the court, but his trash talk got to the young superstar in Minnesota.

Even with Stephen Curry sidelined and Draymond Green in foul trouble, the Golden State Warriors were ahead by five points in the fourth quarter and felt they had every chance to grab a series lead against the Minnesota Timberwolves at home.

Draymond Green tipped his cap to Anthony Edwards after his third-quarter flurry helped the Minnesota Timberwolves take a 3-1 series lead and push the Golden State Warriors to the brink of elimination.

One game after Steph Curry's injury, we were about to lose another star. But, luckily, Anthony Edwards is OK, and the Timberwolves have as good a shot as anybody to win it all.
