The Minnesota Timberwolves started their playoff campaign on a high note with a convincing Game 1 win against the Phoenix Suns, led by a stellar performance from Anthony Edwards. The young guard poured in 33 points, with a historic third quarter where he scored 18 points, leading the team to a 25-point victory, the second-largest in Timberwolves postseason history.
Edwards’ standout performance didn’t go unnoticed, as he set records for consecutive playoff games with 25+ points and total playoff games with 30+ points. His dominance on the court caught the attention of NBA superstar Kevin Durant, who praised him as the future of the league.
In addition to Edwards’ heroics, the Timberwolves also dominated in key areas such as rebounds, points in the paint, and second-chance points, showcasing their all-around strength as a team.
With Game 2 of the series set for Tuesday, the Timberwolves are looking to continue their momentum and secure a spot in the next round of the playoffs, aiming to advance past the first round for the first time since 2004.
