After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Suns handled the Timberwolves 145-129. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
