After Action Report
The Suns held off the Timberwolves 104-97. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
