After Action Report
The Suns survived the Timberwolves 104-100. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
