The Timberwolves and Suns are set to clash in a crucial Game 2 of the NBA postseason on Tuesday night.

The Timberwolves, aiming to secure a commanding 2-0 lead in the series, will face a resilient Phoenix side eager to bounce back after a 120-95 loss on Saturday afternoon. 

The Timberwolves dominated Game 1 from beginning to end Saturday afternoon, led by Anthony Edwards' 33-point performance, while Kevin Durant led the Suns with 31. Minnesota outshot Phoenix by a blistering 50 percent from the field compared to just Phoenix's 44 percent while also forcing 15 turnovers.

It was the kind of start Minnesota wanted, as the franchise has yet to sniff the second round, let alone a conference final, in 20 years.
