Wolves Sweep Suns, Nuggets Lose Home Opener
Edwards, Gobert Lead Wolves to 3-0 Start
After sweeping the Phoenix Suns, Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, and the Minnesota Timberwolves have earned the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. The Wolves pulled off an impressive sweep of the No. 6-seed Suns in the first round, while the No. 4 Denver Nuggets lost their home opener to the Minnesota Timberwolves 110-89.
Edwards Explodes for 43 Points
The 43 points were a playoff career high for Edwards, who hit what was an essentially game-sealing jumper with 1 minute 36 seconds remaining. Edwards is averaging 26.3 points per game in the playoffs, and he has been a major factor in the Wolves' success.
Porter Shines Despite Personal Struggles
One more thing to watch for each team is Michael Porter Jr.'s performance in the playoffs. Porter has managed to shake free of personal issues to shine in the first round, averaging 17.0 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.
