Despite Anthony Edwards' historic playoff feat to surpass Kevin Garnett, it wasn't enough as the Timberwolves lost 118-103 to the Thunder in Game 2.

Minnesota was competitive with Oklahoma City in the first half, exchanging runs as they only trailed 58-50 at halftime. However, the Thunder dominated the Timberwolves 35-21 in the third quarter, growing their lead to 22. Even though the visitors attempted a rally, winning the fourth quarter 32-25, they did not create enough defensive stops to recover from the big deficit.

Four players scored in double-digits on Minnesota's behalf in the loss, including Edwards. He finished with a stat line of 32 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and a block. He shot 12-of-26 from the field, including 1-of-10 from beyond the arc, and 7-of-10 from the free-throw line. Jaden McDaniels came next with 22 points and three blocks, Nickeil Alexander-Walker put up 17 points and two assists, while Naz Reid provided 10 points and eight rebounds.

Minnesota now finds themselves down 2-0 in the series, the second consecutive year they have this deficit in the West Finals. They can have optimism with the fact that Edwards had a strong scoring performance. However, they will need the rest of the team to step up on defense if they wish to get back in the series.

The Timberwolves will look to bounce back when they host the Thunder in Game 3. The contest will take place on May 24 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
