They lost to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals by a score of 124-103.
After the game, All-Star guard Anthony Edwards met with the media and made a brutally honest statement (h/t Sportsnet).
Edwards: “We never clicked all together as a team in this series. Not even one game.”

The Timberwolves had been coming off a tough seven-game series with the Denver Nuggets.
They then fell into an 0-3 hole against the Dallas Mavericks and looked different from the team they were in the first two rounds against the Suns and Nuggets.
Edwards finished the loss on Thursday with 28 points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block while shooting 10/18 from the field and 4/6 from the three-point range in 43 minutes of playing time.
He averaged 27.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.5 steals per contest while shooting 48.1% from the field and 40.0% from the three-point range in the 2024 playoffs (16 games).

🐺 ANTHONY EDWARDS IS A STAR
Edwards was the first pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and is already considered (by many) as the best shooting guard in the league.
He has led the Timberwolves to the NBA playoffs in each of the previous three seasons and this was their first time in the Western Conference finals since the 2004 season.
it’s been a wild ride, Wolves fans.

See how the bald eagle’s story shows its enduring symbolism
As the U.S. celebrates 250 years, the bald eagle endures as North America’s native sea eagle and national bird.
The common loon, Minnesota’s state bird, is more closely related to a penguin than a duck.
Despite loons predominantly living in the northern hemisphere and penguins mostly living in the southern hemisphere, researchers consider them to be genetic cousins. Taxonomic analyses placed them in an evolutionary cluster tracing back 40 million to 50 million years ago, along with herons and pelicans.
While loons and ducks share habitat on Minnesota lakes, they aren’t close relatives. Ducks are closer cousins to geese and swans.
After sharing a common ancestor, penguins and loons developed distinct characteristics. Loons can fly, but struggle to move on land; penguins can’t fly, but waddle on land. Penguins use flipper-like wings to swim; loons use webbed feet for underwater propulsion.
They have some similar features, however, including dense bones to help dive underwater and their tuxedo coloring.
