After Action Report
The Timberwolves held off the Suns 84-76. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat; Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
