The Timberwolves opened up a 17-point first-quarter lead in Game 6 and never looked back. Edwards scored a game-high 27 points in only 33 minutes of action.
The 45-point win is the second-largest margin of victory in a playoff elimination game in league history, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic.
Game 7 is scheduled for Sunday in Denver, with the winner taking on either the Dallas Mavericks or the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference finals.
