The Timberwolves took back-to-back games in Denver to jump out to a surprising 2-0 start and now move to their home Target Center for Games 3 and 4, Friday and Sunday, respectively. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards both scored 27 points and reserve players Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker chipped in 14 apiece in Minnesota’s 106-80 win in Game 2. But the real story of that game, and Minnesota’s postseason so far, is the T-Wolves held Denver to 34.
Minnesota led the NBA in scoring defense in the regular season and built its roster with a defensive identity around Towns and former No. 1 overall pick Anthony Edwards, who is taking his NBA breakout to another level this postseason. The Wolves were perhaps an undervalued commodity going into the Western Conference as the No. 3 seed behind No. 2 Denver and No. 1 Oklahoma City.
