After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Timberwolves 101-99. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
