After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns demolished the Timberwolves 123-99. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
