Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves are stepping into Game 2 of the playoffs with confidence after a decisive 117-95 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Led by Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels, who combined for 48 points, the Wolves established their dominance early, making a significant statement in the postseason.

However, head coach Chris Finch remains cautious, understanding the unpredictability of playoff basketball. He emphasized the importance of maintaining consistency and preparing for an altered approach from the Lakers in Game 2.
