Anthony Edwards ' ascension to superstardom continued on Sunday night as the All-Star guard put up 40 points to eliminate the Phoenix Suns and secure the Minnesota Timberwolves ' first playoff series win in 20 years. He put the game away with two punctuating plays in the final minutes of the fourth quarter— a thunderous dunk on Kevin Durant and an emphatic block on Devin Booker.Edwards opted to do his media availability alongside teammate Karl-Anthony Towns .
As Edwards points out, he managed to avoid racking up the fouls on Sunday night and ended up scoring 28 points while playing 39 minutes. The fact that they can joke about it in the postgame press conference speaks to the chemistry the two have developed and the generally positive vibes surrounding this Timberwolves team.
It'll be critical for Towns to repeat this performance going forward. It won't be easy, though. After the Game 4 win, the big man averages 3.9 fouls per game in 20 postseason appearances. He just has a tendency to foul and it puts Minnesota in a tough spot because a lot of their strengths as a team revolve around their ability to space the floor despite their size. When Towns gets into foul trouble, they have to go to a smaller option who can't shoot nearly as well in Kyle Anderson.
