Description:
For a week, the Timberwolves heard the talk that the Suns were a bad match for them in the first round of the playoffs<br/><br/>For a week, the Wolves had a chance to devise counters to the weaknesses Phoenix exploited in their three regular-season matchups.<br/><br/>The Wolves had a answer for all of the above in a resounding 120-95 Game 1 victory over Phoenix on Saturday at Target Center.<br/><br/>Anthony Edwards, who had averaged just over 14 points against Phoenix this season, exploded for 33 points, including 18 in a third quarter that the Wolves grabbed hold of the game and didn't let go.<br/><br/>Edwards did a fair share of his damage against childhood hero Kevin Durant, and he seemed to relish letting Durant know about a few times while he was on his heater. Edwards capped the game with a steal of Durant for a breakaway dunk with 3 minutes, 37 seconds to play.<br/><br/>\
