All-Star shooting guard Anthony Edwards led the way with 40 points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks while shooting 13/23 from the field and 7/13 from the three-point range in 41 minutes of playing time.

The Timberwolves swept the Suns, and they will now advance to the second round to face off against the Denver Nuggets.
