After the Timberwolves' Game 1 win, Edwards deadpanned: "The Lakers supposed to win. The Wolves finished 7-of-47 (14.9%) from beyond the arc, the worst 3-point percentage in a playoff game in NBA history (minimum 40 attempts). Minnesota missed 18 straight 3s between the second and fourth quarters, tied for the second-most consecutive missed 3s in a playoff win since at least 1998. Edwards was 0-for-11 from 3-point range, tied for the most attempts without a make in a playoff game all time. Gobert took advantage of the Lakers' small-ball lineup as he became the second Timberwolves player with a 20-point, 20-rebound playoff game, joining Kevin Garnett.
