The Timberwolves will try to seize a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal series when they tip off Tuesday evening in Minneapolis. The sixth-seeded Suns are looking to pull even against third-seeded Minnesota before the series shifts to Phoenix.

Minnesota is coming off a dominant 120-95 win in the series opener Saturday. Phoenix trailed by four points in the third quarter before the Timberwolves went on a 21-5 run to grab a 20-point advantage and never looked back.

Anthony Edwards finished with 33 points on 14-for-24 shooting, including 4-for-8 from beyond the arc. He also grabbed nine rebounds and dished six assists.

Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 19 points and seven rebounds as a secondary option, but he could take on a bigger role in Game 2. Another player to watch is Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who proved to be a difference maker off the bench Saturday as he finished with 18 points on 7-for-12 shooting.

Will Alexander-Walker set himself apart once again? Or could the wild card be another bench player such as Naz Reid or Kyle Anderson?

Alexander-Walker said any player could step forward on any given night.
