The Minnesota Timberwolves took on the Phoenix Suns in a heated Game 2 Western Conference Quarterfinal matchup. Minnesota beat Phoneix 105-93 off another stellar effort from Anthony Edwards. Moreover, Edwards put on a hilarious display with a ref after an impressive defensive play against Bradley Beal.
Edwards came from the defensive help side and blocked Beal’s shot into the stands. Afterward, he gave the Suns star a mean staredown and dapped up the referee when the T-Wolves regained possession of the ball:

Edwards could not help but share the exciting moment with the official as the Timberwolves gained momentum on the Suns. Minnesota’s defensive efforts lasted the entire game and were evidenced by Phoenix’s stars struggling.
Bradley Beal amassed just 14 points. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant scored 18 points, and Devin Booker ended up with 20. Minnesota forced 18 turnovers on the Suns and amassed 10 total steals and two blocks.
Ironically, Anthony Edwards did not have his best game, but he contributed plenty. Edwards finished the game with 15 points, eight assists, and five rebounds. His red-hot scoring display from Game 1 cooled down a bit. He previously notched 33 points in the first matchup.
Nevertheless, Edwards’ teammates shined at the right time. Jaden McDaniels erupted with a team-high 25 points along with eight rebounds, and three assists. McDaniels makes a tremendous impact on both sides of the floor, and if he continues his production, Minnesota will go far.
The Timberwolves also received standout efforts from Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert, both of whom scored 18 points. Things are continuing to come together for Minnesota on both sides of the ball. The Suns seemingly have no answer for the Timberwolves’ two-way might.
Phoenix will return to the Footprint Center in hopes of cutting their series deficit to 2-1. Surely, the Suns’ stars will put forth a massive counterattack.
The Timberwolves look to make Phoenix’s lives harder in Game 3. Perhaps Anthony Edwards will put on another tremendous display. However, next time, the ref may not be as willing to participate in his hyped moments.
