The Minnesota Timberwolves trolled the Golden State Warriors after eliminating them in the second round of the playoffs on Wednesday night with a social media post involving T-Wolves star Anthony Edwards and Warriors legend Stephen Curry.
Curry, who has won four NBA titles, has lost only six playoff series in his legendary career. Three of those have been six games (including the 2019 NBA Finals), two of those have been in seven games (including the 2016 NBA Finals), and now he has his first five-game exit.
