Phoenix Suns vs Minnesota Timberwolves Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Game 2 (April 23) | 2024 NBA Playoffs

The Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves face off in their 2024 NBA Playoffs first-round series Game 2 on Tuesday. The Timberwolves defended homecourt in Game 1 with a 120-95 win. It seemed like a 50-50 contest after the opening 12 minutes, but Minnesota turned that into a lopsided battle the rest of the way.

Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 33 points, nine rebounds and six assists, while Karl-Anthony Towns had 19 points and seven rebounds on just nine attempts. Three others scored in double digits as the T'Wolves snapped a three-game skid against the Suns.

Meanwhile, Kevin Durant's 31 points and seven rebounds outing was the lone bright spot for Phoenix. The rest struggled to prevail against the Timberwolves' pesky defense. Devin Booker, in particular, was a letdown after an 18-point night on 31.3% shooting.
