Anthony Edwards delivered another masterful performance.
Minnesota shot just 5 for 21 in the first quarter. Rudy Gobert picked up two early fouls. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker came to play, turning in a pair of truly dominant performances. It was the type of fast-paced, high-scoring affair that would play right into the Suns’ hands. The Timberwolves beat the Suns 122-116 Sunday night in Phoenix in Game 4 of their Western Conference first-round series, securing the first sweep in a playoff series in franchise history. It was no easy task.
Jaden McDaniels hit a big-time 3 that put the Wolves up 113-109, and after Booker made a pair of free throws on the other end, Edwards threw down a monster dunk that gave the Wolves a 115-111 lead with 2 minutes, 12 seconds remaining. That felt like the final nail in the coffin. Karl-Anthony Towns delivered his best performance since returning to the Timberwolves lineup, finishing with 28 points on 11-for-17 shooting and 10 rebounds. He was seemingly the only Wolves player who was able to score early on, and Minnesota needed everything he gave Sunday.
