“Walked into Kevin Durant’s house and snatched that mf” – Phoenix Suns gets DESTROYED by Anthony Edwards’ Timberwolves sending fans into frenzy

The Phoenix Suns started game 3 of their playoff series intending to win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, Anthony Edwards and his teammates had other plans as they destroyed Kevin Durant and his teammates. Fans went into a frenzy watching the young superstar come closer to sweeping his idol at his home.

The Phoenix Suns kept the Minnesota Timberwolves at arm’s length until halftime. But then, the young squad turned on the jets and dominated in the 3rd quarter. Even though the Suns tried to score enough points in the 4th quarter, Anthony Edwards and his teammates went toe to toe, eventually winning the game by 17 points. This loss brings the situation where the Suns are staring at a round 1 exit.

Kevin Durant and his team were supposed to rebound from the deficit at home. However, they came up empty as other than their 4 veterans, none of their Phoenix Suns teammates could even provide double-digit numbers. One more glaring deficit was that the Timberwolves had almost double the rebounds.

If a team does not score well, they do have other aspects to win the game. Such as rebounds and defense. As mentioned above, they lost the battle on the glass. They also could not defend. Rather the younger Timberwolves produced a standout defensive performance to pile on the pressure.
