Is it Ant's time?

Anthony Edwards averaged 26.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists in Minnesota's 4-1 series thrashing of the Lakers. Ahead of last season, Edwards said, "I want to play the Warriors in the playoffs. I want to get to the Warriors, wherever they’re at."

The Timberwolves superstar guard now has his shot at Curry after already eliminating Kevin Durant, Nikola Jokić, LeBron James and Luka Dončić from the playoffs in the past year.

Curry's last shot at a title?

Stephen Curry averaged 24.5 points and 6 assists in a 4-3 series victory over Houston, averaging 4.4 threes per game on 39.7% shooting. This is only the second time Golden State advanced to the Western Conference semifinals since winning the championship in 2022.

At age 37, this could be Curry's last chance at a fifth NBA title thanks to the arrival of Jimmy Butler, who averaged 18.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals against the Rockets.
