Yahoo Sports senior NBA analysts Kevin O'Connor and Tom Haberstroh react to Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals and discuss the major differences between superstars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards.

At only 23 years old, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has proven himself to be an All-NBA player and one of the 10 best in the league, but he still has one more step to take in his game. Through two games in this year's Western Conference Finals, it's the second straight season where he isn't the best player on the floor.

On one drive early in the game, SGA stayed on the ground for a bit longer to catch his breath (and maybe get a little bit of sympathy from the officials?). But Anthony Edwards had had enough. He hilariously tossed the ball at SGA while he laid on the ground and got a technical foul for it.

Four minutes into a Western Conference finals headlined by two of the NBA’s brightest young stars, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards made it clear that he wanted Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to knock off the funny business.

It's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals Thursday night at Paycom Center.

NEW YORK – Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been fined $50,000 for using profane language during a media interview, it was announced today by Byron Spruell, President, League Operations.

After a one-sided second half in Game 1 of MIN vs. OKC, we expect a bounce-back Game 2 by Anthony Edwards and another huge night by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

As opposed to his rookie teammate Jaylen Clark, who played six minutes in Minnesota's blowout loss to Oklahoma City. Clark's rookie contract this season is valued at $492,323. That's before taxes. At Edwards's fine rate, he'd be broke.
