It’s all over for the Minnesota Timberwolves, and now the team is starting summer vacation earlier than they wanted.

Following their 124-94 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, the Timberwolves are regrouping and figuring out what comes next.

Speaking to ESPN after the game, Anthony Edwards vowed that this offseason will be filled with a lot of work and determination.

“I’m going to work my butt off this summer,” Edwards said after Minnesota’s loss. “Nobody’s going to work harder than me this summer. I’ll tell you that much.”

Edwards expected to march all the way to the NBA Finals, and it looked like his team had a chance to do just that.

Then they met with the Thunder, and everything changed.

The Thunder pushed them harder than anyone else, and they had a handle on every game, short of the massive Game 3 win for Minnesota.

Wednesday’s Game 5 was filled with many errors for the Timberwolves, including 21 turnovers, which led to 18 points for the Thunder.

As for Edwards, he posted 19 points, six rebounds, and two assists.

The Thunder limited Edwards multiple times throughout this series, and it obviously left an impact on him.

Now he is more determined than ever and will spend the next few months working hard to get himself prepared for next season.

However, competition will be tough next year too.

The Thunder are obviously going to remain a huge threat, and other teams will be improving in the offseason.

Therefore, Edwards has the right mindset and is going to use this defeat as motivation to push himself and his team forward.
