Meanwhile, Edwards was unstoppable, slashing through the Suns' defense with ease and hitting shots from all over the court.
Karl-Anthony Towns added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves, while D'Angelo Russell contributed 19 points. Chris Paul led the Suns with 19 points, but his efforts were not enough to overcome Minnesota's dominance.
The victory gives the Timberwolves a crucial home-court advantage in the series, which now shifts to Minnesota for Game 2. The Suns will need to regroup and find a way to slow down Edwards and the Timberwolves if they want to avoid falling into an 0-2 deficit.
