🏀 Historic Night! The Minnesota Timberwolves stunned the Phoenix Suns with a 122-116 victory in Game 4 on Sunday at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. This win completes a clean sweep 💨, propelling the young T-Wolves into the Western Conference semifinals! 🎉
This is only the second time since joining the NBA in 1989 that the Timberwolves have advanced past the first round of the postseason. The last time this happened was back in 2004, when the legendary Kevin Garnett, the franchise's greatest player, led them forward while clinching the regular season MVP award. 🏆 Garnett held the team record for most playoff games with 30+ points, a total of seven games.
But move over, KG! 🙌 On April 26, during Game 3, Anthony Edwards matched Garnett's record. And now, Edwards has taken the record for himself after dropping a massive 40 points in Game 4! 🔥 He was unstoppable, shooting 13-for-23 from the field, nailing seven three-pointers, and sinking seven of his ten free throws. Edwards also hustled for a team-high five offensive rebounds. 💪
In the fourth quarter, Edwards was in the zone, missing only one of his field goals and pouring in 16 points. His clutch performance helped the T-Wolves outscore the Suns 32-24 in the final period, sealing their victory and the series sweep. 🌟
The future looks bright for Minnesota with young stars like Edwards leading the charge. Could this be the start of a new era for the Timberwolves? 🐺 Only time will tell, but for now, fans are howling with excitement! 🎉
