After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Suns edged the Timberwolves 122-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
