Timberwolves Take 2-0 Series Lead over Suns
McDaniels Shines, Defense Dominates
Minneapolis, MN - November 15, 2023 (AP)
Jaden McDaniels exploded for a career playoff-high 25 points, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 2-0 series lead over the Phoenix Suns with a decisive 116-93 victory on Tuesday night. McDaniels' offensive outburst, paired with the Timberwolves' stingy defense, proved insurmountable for the Suns, who were held to their lowest point total of the season. The Timberwolves held Phoenix to just 36% shooting, including a dismal 22% from three-point range. In the post-game press conference, McDaniels credited his teammates for their all-around effort. "It's not just about me," he said. "Everyone stepped up tonight. We're playing as a unit, and it's showing on the court." The series now shifts to Phoenix for Games 3 and 4, with the Timberwolves holding a commanding advantage. However, McDaniels cautioned against complacency. "We're not done yet," he said. "We have to keep playing hard and stay focused."
