He retains a lot of information,” said Timberwolves director of player development Chris Hines. “He can translate information, take it, but still be himself within that.”

Anthony Edwards silenced all of the doubters, leading his Timberwolves to a five-game victory of the Los Angeles Lakers. After two seasons of playoff success, is it safe to say that Edwards has become the best big-game player in the NBA?

The Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers from the NBA Playoffs with a 103-96 victory in Game 5, clinching the series 4-1. LeBron James and Luka Doncic combined for 50 points for the Lakers, who were outscored in the fourth quarter and struggled to contain Minnesota's size and rebounding.
