Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley believes teammate Anthony Edwards can ascend to rarefied air when all is said and done.

However, they haven't had much opportunity to see him.After going down with a hamstring strain in Game 1, Curry hasn't seen the floor since, with the Timberwolves having the Warriors on the verge of elimination on Wednesday night in Game 5.

Edwards predicted a year ago that Minnesota would make it back to the West finals. The Wolves dispatched the Warriors to prove him right.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have Anthony Edwards. The Golden State Warriors do not. Sometimes, it's just that simple. The Wolves, led by Edwards' 30 points and five assists, beat the Dubs 117-110 on Monday night to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the semifinals of the Western Conference playoffs.

Edwards put on the moves to pull out a between-the-legs step back jump shot from far beyond the arc as the halftime buzzer sounded, draining the shot with two defenders right in his face. The deep buzzer-beating three-pointer from Anthony Edwards has gone viral on social media.

Edwards was frustrated when he couldn't be the hero. His coaches were frustrated by his poor decisions. In the playoffs, he has become a star in crunch time, by learning when to make the right play -- or be the right play himself.
