Anthony Edwards Goes Off in 4th Quarter; Minnesota Timberwolves Sweep Suns

It’s been a really long time since the Minnesota Timberwolves have won a playoff series. But on Sunday night they had an opportunity to break that winless streak with a 4-0 sweep of the Phoenix Suns.

To the Suns’ credit, obtaining a victory tonight was a lot more difficult than it had proven to be in the three contests prior. But, when rubber met the road, the Suns proved once again that they do not have what it takes to hang with this Wolves team.

Even in a game where Minnesota shot under 25% in the first half and Rudy Gobert dealt with foul trouble, it just didn’t matter. At the end of the day, the Suns just aren’t at the same level as the Timberwolves and that proved to be the case in the minimum amount of attempts.

Still, at no point during game 4 did it ever feel like the Timberwolves were in jeopardy of losing. Just like most of the series, a Wolves win just felt inevitable. And no doubt, a huge part of that feeling of inevitability is Anthony Edwards.

Much like his team as a whole, Ant had a difficult first half. But when it’s time for Edwards to takeover, he just hits another mode. And we saw that happen again on Sunday, this time midway through the 4th quarter.
