Powered by a Julius Randle triple-double and a second-half explosion from star forward Anthony Edwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 102-97 to take a 2-1 series lead in the conference semifinals on Saturday night at Chase Center.
And while Edwards's first 30-point game of the series was certainly noteworthy, it was Randle's performance that had fans and pundits buzzing. Randle became the first Timberwolves player to record a playoff triple-double since Kevin Garnett in 2004. He's the first Timberwolves player to notch 10-plus assists in consecutive playoff games.
