The Minnesota Timberwolves extended their dominance in the Western Conference first-round playoff series by securing a 126-109 victory over the Phoenix Suns in Game 3. The game saw the Timberwolves Take a commanding lead and showcase an exceptional performance, with Anthony Edwards leading the way. The Timberwolves outplayed the Suns in all areas of the game, giving them a comfortable 3-0 series lead.
In the first half, the game remained close, though the Timberwolves pulled away in the third quarter with a 16-point lead over the Suns. Edwards performed incredibly, scoring a career-high 36 points, nine rebounds, and five assists, while Karl-Anthony Towns secured a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds.
The Suns found it challenging to keep up with the Timberwolves’ hot shooting. Additionally, the team was outrebounded by a significant margin. With Grayson Allen out due to injury, the Suns’ offense lacked the firepower to match the Timberwolves’ scoring output.
As the Timberwolves aim to complete the sweep in Game 4, the Suns will need to re-strategize and make adjustments to avoid an early exit from the playoffs. The Timberwolves’ dominant performance in Game 3 has put them on the verge of advancing to the next round, signaling their potential as a genuine contender in the Western Conference.
