Magic Johnson Blasts Anthony Edwards’ Timberwolves for Bad Body Language After Prediction Backfires

The MVP continues to march forward to win the championship. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led his team with 34 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds. They closed out any chance for the Minnesota Timberwolves to come back from being 3-1 down in the Western Conference Finals. Once again, Anthony Edwards’ performance on the court is under scrutiny, this time by NBA icon Magic Johnson. Who previously rated him highly before the WCF.

“The Minnesota Timberwolves did not put forth a desperation effort in tonight’s game. They had bad body language and played like they were already on vacation.” This tweet from Magic Johnson also summarizes the Wolves’ performance in Game 5. In the first quarter, they only scored 9 points and allowed OKC to get off to a hot start by conceding 26 points.

In the second quarter to the trend continued as the Thunder dominated with 39 points and the Wolves managed only 23. OKC held Minnesota to 40.5% shooting and forced 21 turnovers. A result that even the Lakers legend did not predict previously.

“I have the New Knicks beating the Indiana Pacers and the Minnesota Timberwolves beating the Oklahoma City Thunder to advance to the NBA Finals!”
