In a stunning display of dominance, the Timberwolves emerged victorious over the Suns with a resounding 126-109 win in Game 3. From the opening tip-off, it was clear that Minnesota came to play, showcasing their offensive prowess and defensive tenacity throughout the game.
Led by their star player Karl-Anthony Towns, who scored an impressive 35 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, the Timberwolves left no doubt as to who the superior team was on this night. Their ball movement was crisp, their shooting accuracy deadly, and their defense suffocating.
The Timberwolves came out strong in the first quarter, taking an early lead and never looking back. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, with standout performances from Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards. Towns dominated in the paint, scoring 30 points and grabbing 15 rebounds, while Edwards showcased his scoring ability with 25 points.
The Wolves answered that with a resounding yes as they defeated the Suns 126-109 on Friday night to take a 3-0 lead with a chance to win their first playoff series since 2004 on Sunday night in Game 4.
The Wolves led by six at halftime and again used a methodical surge in which they ground the Suns to pieces in the third quarter, when fans began to boo the home team in Footprint Center.
Several Wolves danced around foul trouble all night, but the Wolves had the depth to overcome that.
Playing off of Nurkić is important to note, firstly. As their pressure release and connector, anytime he touches the ball, it means movement is triggered.
Regardless of who is in movement and where the action is occurring, this is always A+ in process for them because it’s going to always force a defense — whether directly in the moment or over the course of a game in scheme — to make decisions.
Kevin Durant has held his end of the bargain, averaging 24.5 points per night. Devin Booker has had a somewhat cold streak to begin the playoffs shooting 11-29 combined through the two games while Bradley Beal has finished with six assists in each matchup as the de-facto point guard.
The Suns fought hard throughout the game, led by Devin Booker who scored 28 points. However, they were unable to overcome the relentless attack of the Timberwolves.
Overall, it was an exciting game that showcased the talent and determination of both teams. The Timberwolves now lead the series 2-1 as they look to advance in the playoffs.
