PHOENIX -- Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards noticed early in the third quarter that the Phoenix Suns switched up their defense, playing him one-on-one most of the time instead of using the double-teams from the first half.

The budding superstar took that as a challenge.

"It was like -- you've got to beat us," Edwards said. "And I showed them."

Edwards scored 31 of his 40 points in the second half, Karl-Anthony Towns added 28 and the Timberwolves pulled away late to beat the Suns 122-116 on Sunday night and sweep the first-round playoff series.
