Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown had one of his best postseason games of the year in Wednesday's matchup against the New York Knicks, finishing a 127-102 win with a 26-point, 12-assist double-double. Brown needed to take on extra offensive duties with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) lost for the rest of the way, and he relished the occasion, posting a new career high in assists and missing a triple-double by only two rebounds. He shot 9-for-17 from the field, including 3-for-5 from outside, and tallied one steal on the defensive end. Brown formed a dangerous attacking duo with Derrick White on Wednesday, as the two combined for nearly half (60) of Boston's points. The Knicks will be in trouble if they can't slow them down on Friday night in Game 6.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards recorded a double-double with 22 points and 12 assists in Wednesday's series-clinching 121-110 win over the Golden State Warriors. He added seven rebounds, one steal, and three blocks to his tally, shooting 8-for-15 from the field and 5-for-9 from downtown. Edwards' offensive play was so impactful that he was plus-20 for the game, despite committing seven of the team's 20 turnovers. Minnesota's young superstar is enjoying a great postseason, giving the team hope that they can make it all the way to the NBA Finals. Edwards has averaged 26.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.5 steals through the first two rounds.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle scored a game-high 29 points on 13-for-18 shooting as the team eliminated the Golden State Warriors from the playoffs with a 121-110 win on Wednesday. It was a slow start for Randle, who managed only five points in the opening frame, but he impressed throughout the series, and Golden State struggled to contain him once again. The three-time All-Star shot 2-for-6 from three-point range and added eight rebounds and five assists to his line. While Randle did plenty of offensive damage against the Warriors, averaging 25.2 points per game, he must improve his ball-handling in the Western Conference Finals. He gave up the rock at least three times in four of five games, committing a total of 18 turnovers.
