Well, here we are again, friends.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are back in the NBA Playoffs for the third straight season as an underdog, this time facing the No. 6 seed Phoenix Suns, the only Western Conference opponent they did not defeat in the regular season (0-3).
Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert and the Timberwolves are hoping to add another bullet point to their long list of “firsts since the 2003-04 Wolves” — win a first-round playoff series. But it won’t come easy, as they drew another All-Star trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, who are playing their best basketball of the season entering the playoffs.
