The Minnesota Timberwolves currently hold a 2-0 series lead over the Denver Nuggets. This has been the most surprising second round series in the NBA playoffs thus far because the Nuggets are the higher seed and won the NBA championship last year. The Nuggets also have superstar center Nikola Jokić, who just won his third NBA regular season MVP award. So, they were favorites at the beginning of the series. However, Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is determined to complete the upset and advance to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in his career.

Edwards has averaged more than 32 points per game throughout this postseason, which leads all of his other teammates by at least 11 points. Edwards is only 22 years-old, but he has made the Timberwolves a dangerous team in the NBA playoffs this year.

The Timberwolves have not reached the second round of the NBA playoffs since 2003, so this is already a successful season for the team. However, they are on the verge of making it to the Western Conference Finals, as the next two games in this series are played in Minnesota.

Game 2 was a blowout victory for the Timberwolves, as Edwards and center Karl-Anthony Towns each scored 27 points. Meanwhile, Jokić only scored 16 points and had his worst postseason performance of the season. Game 3 should be much more competitive because Jokić will likely have a bounce back game and the Nuggets will be fighting to avoid a 3-0 series deficit. Tonight’s game will also be the first home game for the Timberwolves in this series, so their home crowd will be making a lot of noise in the arena.
