The Minnesota Timberwolves made franchise history last night as they swept the Phoenix Suns in Game 4 to advance to the second round of the NBA playoffs. This victory marks the first playoff series win for the Timberwolves since 2004.
Despite a strong performance from Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, the Suns were unable to secure a win against the stellar play of Anthony Edwards, who led the Timberwolves with a 40-point effort. Edwards made several key shots down the stretch to secure the victory for his team. Karl-Anthony Towns also had a strong game, contributing 28 points and 10 rebounds.
The game took a scary turn when Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch was injured in a sideline collision and had to leave the game early. However, the team was able to rally together and secure the win in his absence.
The Suns struggled to find production outside of Durant and Booker, with no other player scoring in double figures. Booker finished with a game-high 49 points, while Durant added 33 points. The Suns will now head into the offseason with questions about their roster construction and their ability to compete for a championship.
The Timberwolves, on the other hand, are riding high on their series win and will be looking forward to the second round of the playoffs. Fans are hopeful that this victory is just the beginning of a successful playoff run for the team.
