The Minnesota Timberwolves have taken a commanding 3-0 lead over the Phoenix Suns in the NBA playoffs.

Anthony Edwards played a starring role with 36 points, supported by Rudy Gobert's double-double of 19 points and 14 rebounds.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker's performance in the third quarter significantly boosted the Timberwolves' momentum.

Despite contributions from Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker, the Suns struggled to close the gap in the fourth quarter.

The Timberwolves' substantial rebounding edge and strong defense are key factors in their current advantage.

The Suns are at risk of being swept in Game 4, raising concerns about their strategy for the next season.
