Anthony Edwards reflected on the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Western Conference Finals loss to the Dallas Mavericks, attributing their defeat to a lack of cohesion as a team. Unlike their previous series against the Suns and Nuggets, Edwards felt that the team never clicked together in this series, which hindered their performance.

The Timberwolves were defeated in five games, and Edwards put up a strong performance in Game 5 with 28 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. However, his efforts were not enough to overcome the dominant performances of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, who scored 36 points each to lead the Mavericks to a 124-103 win.

We never clicked all together as a team in this series. Not even one game. I think that was the main thing. The last two series, we were all clicking at one time making shots and stuff. We weren’t clicking at one time here.
Anthony Edwards said in the post-game presser

Edwards’ overall performance in the series was not great, although he averaged 24.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 7.8 assists. His shooting numbers were poor, with a field goal percentage of just 43%.
