Timberwolves 105, Suns 93: Minnesota takes 2-0 lead
Jaden McDaniels scored 25 points on 10-for-17 shooting and the Minnesota Timberwolves pulled away for a 105-93 win over the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of their Western Conference quarterfinals series on Tuesday in Minneapolis.
Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert finished with 18 points apiece for Minnesota, which seized a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
The Timberwolves won by double digits despite a subpar night from Anthony Edwards, who shot 3 of 12 from the field but finished with 15 points thanks in part to 7-of-8 success at the free-throw line.
Devin Booker led the Suns with 20 points on 6-for-13 shooting, though he was 1-for-6 from 3-point range. Kevin Durant finished with 18 points and Bradley Beal scored 14, but the pair combined to shoot 12 of 32 from the field.
Minnesota outscored Phoenix 55-42 in the second half to secure the victory.
