On the NBA Playoffs podcast with Tony R:

#1 Tony in game 2 of the second round of the NBA playoffs the Minnesota Timberwolves got some great offensive help from Anthony Edwards who lead with 27 points and Karl Anthony-Towns with 27 points on Monday night as the Wolves go up 2-0 in the series against the Denver Nuggets.

#2 With both Edwards and Towns each scoring 27 a piece it gave the Timberwolves a great tandem when you consider the Denver Nuggets are champs and are already down 0-2 to start the second round.

#3 Facing Edwards and Towns it’s a handful for the Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon did the heavy lifting scoring 20 points and center Nikola Jokic scored 16 points but it was not enough against Minnesota.

#4 The Wolves are going big they are perfect so far in the post season winning 4-0 in the first round and now are up on the Nuggets 2-0 with the series going back to Minnesota.

#5 Game 3 Friday night in Minnesota Target Center, the Nuggets will need to salvage one of the two games or go home. The Nuggets are champs and couldn’t win on their own floor and could be eliminated sooner than they thought.
