After Action Report
The Suns took care of the Timberwolves 113-101. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
