May 28th yesterday, the G4 Timberwolves lost to the Thunder 126-128, and fell behind 1-3 with a big score. When asked about the reasons for his poor performance after the game, Anthony Edwards said that it was not enough to call it a struggle and that he only played based on the defense. However, Stephen A-Smith was obviously not satisfied with this explanation on the FirstTake show.

Smith asked if Edwards was really a superstar and said his calm reaction in the locker room after losing was "unforgivable" for a player like him. "My question is, are you the superstar you claim? In fact, we know that Ant-Man (the Marvel character who can get bigger and smaller as you please) is very special. You also see Alexander's great performance. What I'm expecting is that personal honor. I don't want to hear something like 'I made the right choice'."

"You think you've shown the aggressiveness you need to make sure your team doesn't lose. That's what Alexander did. They lost over 40 points in Game 3. What did Alexander do? The new MVP scored 40 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists at your home. I want to emphasize 40 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists again. And your response was ‘I don’t think I did badly, I made the right choice’. It’s a relatively mediocre offensive performance for you. In my opinion, it’s unforgivable. Ant-Man is much better than that.” Smith added.

Edwards' performance in this game was sluggish, making 5 of 13 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, scoring 16 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and making 5 mistakes.
